There is something about the power of handwriting. Typed words cannot match this personal touch. The spoken word, while personal, does not have the permanence. Handwriting alone has that special quality that grabs our attention and also communicates our emotions as well as our thoughts.

For example, why do we remember the name John Hancock? It’s because there is emotion in his signature. Emotion in his statement. No typewritten or printed text can convey that feeling.

It’s the same with your correspondence. Printed notes just cannot match the personal nature of handwritten. So, the next time you think about which option is best for you think about what you’re trying to accomplish. Convey information? Any note will do. Convey emotion and a personal touch? Nothing beats handwriting, whether we do it for you or not.
