The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters</p>
<p>Beautiful is better than ugly.<br />
Explicit is better than implicit.<br />
Simple is better than complex.<br />
Complex is better than complicated.<br />
Flat is better than nested.<br />
Sparse is better than dense.<br />
Readability counts.<br />
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.<br />
Although practicality beats purity.<br />
Errors should never pass silently.<br />
Unless explicitly silenced.<br />
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.<br />
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.<br />
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.<br />
Now is better than never.<br />
Although never is often better than *right* now.<br />
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.<br />
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.<br />
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!<br />

The font of some are just ridiculous, making it too hard to read. It enables me to realise that how important a typeface could be. Helvetica is generated in 1957, yet now it is still everywhere, “like air, like gravity.” If you ask me what is classic? Just like Helvetica. I have been learning and practicing Chinese calligraphy for years. When I was in primary school, it was just a burden for me since it took up much time from cartoons or radio games. But then, I really appreciate those who have a nice handwriting so I just pick it up again. When it comes signature, I used to quite proud my signature that I designed for myself when I was in junior high. However, now I think it is not readable at all, I had better redesign it based on Helvetica. Good night~After searching and reading piles of papers for the PMA the other days, my eyes still hurts.
