'Curse' of the sheep Year-Really?

Ibelieve in every kind of superstition a little bit - horoscope, blood type, Santa Claus and Chinese zodiac symbols, but nobody told me that people born in the Year of Sheep have bad luck until I was older.

One day before my 18th birthday, my mom treated me to a hotpot feast and suddenly started talking about my birth animal, the sheep. She told me I was lucky to be born in August, because "August goats have grass to eat". For the first time I knew that maybe I was born in the wrong year.

Still, I don't really mind being a Sheep man. Maybe my life isn't so smooth, but I won't let the bad luck affect my life. 2015 is my zodiac year; I will wear red clothes to protect myself.

Most of my friends and classmates in school were born in the Year of the Sheep, and we talked about our zodiac symbol openly without believing in the bad luck.

I never thought that my zodiac animal would have an effect on me, until one time I was turned down at a job interview. The boss believed my birth animal didn't get along with his!

This experience doesn't serve as proof that my life is particularly unlucky. Overall, I think nobody's life is perfect and smooth. Even if I go through harsh times, I think all the troubles will the only help me grow.
