National Handwriting Week, January 18-24, marks the birthday of--who else--John Hancock. Bart Baggett, director of Handwriting University.com, claims that by learning to write like successful people, you can improve your life.
Baggett's system involves identifying the personality traits of successful people and the corresponding strokes in their handwriting. He says, "You can program your own handwriting with these traits and see positive changes in your life."
High goals and ambition are indicated by t-bars crossed on top of the stem. A large signature and high crossed t-bars point to strong self-esteem. Heavy downstrokes below the baseline show determination. Persistence causes people to not lift their pen when crossing the letter t.
Baggett has found that pressing very hard on the paper shows long-lasting emotions. Extra long t-bars indicate enthusiasm. And people who make large, heavy y and g loops display strong physical drives.
