. . . as childlike.
However, many many years ago I had two calligraphic epiphanies:
In Jr. High School (8th grade) I was put into the Art-Major class and they taught us how to letter where one was really drawing.*
Then, in high school, with four years of drafting and a year of "freehand drawing" (drafting without any tools, really), we had to letter heading in specific clear UC letters, all 1/8" high.**
So - if I want to be legible and/or attractive, it can be done.
However, my normal scrawl is a schizophrenic mix of UC/LC/Cursive in no particular sequence.
* I had myself transferred back to the "experimental math" program, learning number bases, set theory, and such, whilst it was considered very novel, indeed. They also put me into typing. Now there's a piece of luck. 80 wpm worth.
** a good calculus course, too. Was able to help college friends who weren't given the luxury of a class full of interested students and the time to understand, not just do.

And that's the reason I stopped taking notes y hand since I have computers at my hand...
(I had a terrible handwriting at school - pre-computer area - but using keyboard to express myself in writing just ruined it even more)

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Mine is legible to others if it is less than 2 sentences

But since I discovered the internet it's gone downhill.
Most of it is legible to me immediately; some of it generally is after ten minutes. After an hour, I can work out what the numbers are; the following day? Monkey language in hieroglyphics...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Thanks to my school (Balalok Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Chennai) my handwriting used to be impeccable like print. But with evolution and time, the print-like style might have faded but does maintain to an extent. And to be frank there were a few classmates who had more beautiful hand writing presentation as well.

Should be, awkwardly enough, checkboxes, not radio buttons. 
If it's a form that you need to fill in that has a risk of spam. Immediately unreadable.
If it's something like meeting notes (I mostly write on paper, yes). Unreadable after an hour or so.
If it's something I absolutely need to remember. absolutely Readable.

In this 'current' world where we hardly touch to the pen (may for signing a cheque), our handwriting getting worsen...I think its a matter of practice
I think, The More you write...the more will be your handwriting good (or being good)

Not really. See the doctors... most of them had to write a ton of notes during college and still have a really bad handwriting.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

and they have a shelf-life -- after a month, not even I can read them.
Anything important is written in Word. Then lost.

I do that sometimes for things I don't mind losing when my computer reboots on its own.
