Calligraphy

Hello, I’m Liza. One of the dots Jobs


pointed out in his
Commencement address was Calligraphy.
I decided to learn a little more about it in
order to understand Jobs personality
better.
Reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy

The essence of Zen Buddhism is attempting to understand the


meaning of life directly without thought or language by meditation to
enlightenment.
Calligraphy in Zen Buddhism is a means of meditation that
requires maximum concentration and spontaneity in execution. The
brush stroke must come from a union with the world, no separation

Going back to dots
From all that has been said and seen, we can conclude that Jobs's
passion for calligraphy further contributed not only to the creation of
fonts in the Macintosh, but also explains Steve's constant striving for
excellence in everything he did and created. For him, beauty, elegance
and subtlety were as important as the scientific and technical genius of
the invention.
