上班族必備軟實力

In America, a signature is a proof of identity. It is a necessity of daily life. A signature is as unique as fingerprints. Handwriting experts can tell if a signature is genuine or not. It takes a very skilled forger to get anything by them.

Signatures are written in cursive. This is the style of writing where the letters of a word are all connected. This was a time saver, in that you could write words without lifting your pen off the paper. Hardly anybody writes cursive anymore. It is hard to write and it is hard to read. We type, we text, we print, but we don’t write cursive. The signature is one of the last vestiges of this endangered form of expression. Who needs it if you can text.

There are those who think that they can determine what kind of person you are from the way you write. They claim to be able to tell if you are smart and successful, or a stupid failure. How you dot your i's and cross your t’s tells a lot about who you really are. If, for example, you dot your i's with little hearts, then you are most likely a 15 year old girl. If your script has many elaborate loops, then you are probably loopy. It is all logical.

This handwriting indicates a delusional individual. (He thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt.)

In the States, you may sign your name several times every day. The writing style of your signature on you checks should be similar to the style of your signature on your drivers license. Your bank will keep a copy of your signature on file, on a signature card. But in Taiwan, you rarely sign your name. In Taiwan, you stamp it.

This is me signing off until next time. Thank you for reading.
