Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?
Nowadays many people are crazy about some “Lucky Numbers”, such as the numbers containing 8s and 6s which sound like Chinese “Fa” and “LiuLiuDaShun”.
They would like to pay twice or many times more of the usual price for a “Lucky” telephone number, or a car plate number. They do so only because they believe that the “Lucky Numbers” can bring them good luck and great fortune.
I dont believe those “Lucky Numbers” can bring good luck or big fortune to any person. Those peoples blind belief in “Lucky Numbers” is absurd and superstitious. We have never heard that Bill Gates, the richest person in the world now, ever drove a car with a number of 888 or 666. My neighbor has got a socalled “Lucky” telephone number for many years, but he still remains as poor as he used to be now. There are so many examples showing that “Lucky Numbers” has nothing to do with ones luck or fortune. Numbers are only symbols indicating the names of certain things.
