解放军文职招聘考试Lucky Number

My friend Mary was born on June 13 th, 1977. She is always dissatisfied with her birthday because “13” is an “evil” number. There are lots of people who are convinced that good numbers bring good luck and bad numbers bring disasters. Hence, 13, 4 and other so　called evil numbers are wiped off from cards, list, menus, etc. Even in some cities, there is no bus No.13 or No.13 Street.

I don't think numbers have anything to do with luck. Numbers were created for counting. There is no relationship between a certain number and one's fate. There are many people who succeed in spite of “close relationship” with bad numbers. There are also a lot of people, who should have been blessed by “lucky” numbers, involved in accidents. Take my friend Mary for example. She achieved a good study at the nation's most prestigious university and later gained good reputation in her career. Her luck is not a bit damaged by her “bad birthday”.

In a word, numbers are numbers. They stand for nothing but quantity. Numbers have nothing to do with luck.
