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.

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.
