Seek words and see the heart.

When I was very young, my elders at home began to teach me to read and write. My mother said that my first "original" was in 1989. I don't know what it is, but I can only recognize the word "person". That was when my family had just moved from Shandong to Liaoning. I was less than 4 years old.

Later, when I went to school, the teachers all stressed the need to write carefully. Handwriting is a "business card" for people, and seeing words is like seeing people.

Many years after graduation, I still don't understand what the teachers mean. Until one time, a student I taught watched me write a shift, draw a temperature list, and fill in the nursing records of critically ill patients, saying, "Sister Lin knows the rules as well as people." I thought, how can you judge a person by handwriting? I asked curiously, "How did you see that?"

It turns out that the student's father is a criminal investigator and a calligraphy lover, so she began to explain to me the relationship between calligraphy and emotion and even personality. Her father read her homework and said that she didn't study hard at all. What is fresh in my memory is, "Teacher, think about it. When a person is distracted, how can he care so much about writing and doing things? It must be scrawled and disorganized, just like the unstable spacing between words. " I was a capital suit at that time!

? Later, I began to learn the English calligraphy (circle, ES) of dip pen, and the teacher can always see my status through my punching homework. Criticize me when I am impetuous, and encourage me to believe in myself when I am confused and have no clue.

What impressed me most was that I practiced an ellipse (capital letter O) for a week, but I still didn't make progress. My teacher said to me, "Look at what you wrote. Every article is different. I am afraid to write and doubt myself.". This can't do! "

Until today, I picked up my pen again and picked up things that made me concentrate and enjoy it (sometimes very painful), only to understand that seeing a word is like seeing a person. Compared with my previous exercise paper, it was the "scar" left by repeated attempts and disappointments after I lost my pen control ability because of hyperthyroidism in recent years. I find that my current state of mind is very stable and indifferent, and every stroke is very stable and relieved, instead of writing one stroke after another with trepidation.

I still remember a scene in Journey to the West's Daughter Country. "When I was a child, the host in the temple warned the young monk to copy the scriptures when he was depressed. As long as the words are written correctly, his mood will be quiet. "

Write something every day, just like the Oracle in ancient Greek mythology "know yourself".
