@maungmaung: I don't know about my furry friend but for one thing, I am going to practise hard until I becomes good. Truth may never be pleasing to the ears but it takes a greatness to appreciate it. :)

I wonder what will happen when your friend discovers that his calligraphy is not that great.... hahaha...;) I don't know why these kind of fluffy statements are so popular on the internet. Perhaps it's because they make ordinary people feel special about themselves.

Sorry no time to check my thoughts on electronic paper. The boss is calling us for lunch!

@ Melaminefree: Directness is good. I have no problem with that. However, you need to rephrase your words more diplomatically. For other people, it would mean a direct attack. Since I know you are still learning English, I get your drift. Here's my comment, I think both of you are mistaken. From what I read in the passage, it is not the style of writing ie how one person writes an essay but his calligraphy. You both are reading from too literal a standpoint. Remember you have to look at the photo for reference. The author wrote with the photo in mind. In writing calligraphy, it is not always the words of the calligrapher but some master of the ancient times. So therefore what was written is irrelevant. Traditional Chinese believe that from the style of your calligraphy, handwriting, one can deduce the nature and character of the person. In English its called handwriting analysis. What the author says ambiguously (which I consider to be a highly creative piece of writing) is that it doesn't matter who you are, your handwriting gives a tell tale sign of you. The author is referring that even a cat can hold a brush and write. It is not what is written by how the strokes are created. No matter how it is written, (whether using hirgana, hangeol etc), the strokes will tell the nature.
