Are you a tactful Tom? Your handwriting reveals whether you’re diplomatic

Consider these two statements:

John tells wife at dining table: “Darling, this is the worst chicken curry I have ever had! I don’t think you were paying attention to cooking today. It’s awful!”

Tom tells wife at dining table: “Darling, it seems you are out of habit today. There is something wrong with this chicken curry, but I can’t tell what. Why don’t you taste it?”

If you are a woman, who would want as your husband? John or Tom?We know Tom will be your choice unless you are a sucker for trouble. We all handle situations differently according to our personality. But we have noticed that some people are just a lot better with words than most of us. They ease out things even in difficult situations; they are more diplomatic; and they exercise more tact and skill in dealing with people. Today, we will see who these people are and what is there in their handwriting which makes them that way.

Before we proceed, write the following sentence on a sheet of paper: “Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.”  Now, we have 4 little m’s in this sentence.  We want to observe the size of the 2  humps in the m. There are three possibilities:

1) They are of the same size.

2) The first one is bigger than the second one.

3) The second one is bigger than the first one.

The trait we are learning, diplomacy, has to do with the 2nd possibility. If the first hump is bigger than the second one, the writer will tend to be tactful in speaking. (see handwriting sample card below. 1 & 3 will be covered in subsequent lessons)

For example, if A wants to tell me he doesn’t like something in this article, he would say ‘it would be better if we use this word’ instead of just saying, ‘ This is not good.’ (Please note that outspoken behaviour or bluntness is also indicated by a clear letter ‘o’ and the letter ‘h’ with no loops in the stick)

I think diplomacy is a very useful trait because it eases out situations and definitely helps maintain and improve relationships.  We’ve all seen the blindly-in-love hero swallow the experimental cooking by his girlfriend/wife without complaining, and it always pays! However, I am not suggesting that everybody should resort to false praise or subject themselves to torture, but it’s up to you whether you want to be John or Tom.  The latter will write m’s and n’s exactly the way you see in the sample above.

Also, by changing your m’s and n’s in this way will help you become a little diplomatic. Yes, it’s true. You can really surprise people with your diplomatic behaviour

Do leave your handwriting sample or the comment below. I’ll reply to it. Have a wonderful life!
