I have seen friends, acquaintances, and neighbors who are affiliated with another religion or are atheists going out of their way to avoid that ladder Could it have become such a widespread habit that the reason is no longer questioned?

Not walking under a ladder sounds a lot like common sense If either the ladder or person on it were to fall, of course anything

directly under the ladder would become an unfortunate target

What do you do when you're watching the weekly lottery numbers being drawn on TV? Or how about when you're anxiously awaiting the hopefully positive results of some exam or test? I'll bet that

Knock on wood Why do we knock on wood? It seems awfully strange

to knock on wood after announcing one's good health By knocking on wood, while at the same time saying, "Knock on wood," we are

apparently avoiding a jinx as well as calling upon the good spirits of the wood to protect us From the olden times, people of various

backgrounds and walks of life have thought the forests and other parts

of nature to contain spirits So it's no surprise that people continued to worship these spirits even after they were taken from their original environment and converted into objects like tables, desks, and

shelves

Trang 12

Many people still believe, when they see a shooting star,

your wish will come true

Say "God bless you" to someone who has just sneezed, and

covering your mouth and nose are good way of keeping your luck positive

Trang 13

Some people believe that a four leaf clover can bring you lots

of good luck The Irish have a tradition that says if someone find one by accident they will have good luck Only one in

clovers than anywhere else, or so the Irish say From that come the saying, "luck of the Irish."

Trang 18

Many people are confused that divination, on the possible

cure is better to go to the hospital.

Superstition to disrupt family happiness, happiness of men and woman

Trang 19

As you can see there is an endless supply of superstitions, both good and back - ones that are taken seriously and others that are laughed at But one thing is for certain, most people can't go about their daily lives without

encountering superstitious thoughts and actions on some level

Although superstitions are completely erroneous, it is proven that the positive power of mind and prayers can improve the probability of success in your life

So make sure, your life is filled with positive energy, thoughts and behaviors,

as those ridiculous superstitions have no logical basis whatsoever
