Superstition is big in sports....If your on a win streak you keep wearing the same socks or as a fan if I'm listening to my team on the radio and they are winning don't you dare turn that dial for fear that my listening has something to do with them winning....as far as in real life not many people worry about that stuff anymore, unfortunately here in America we have to have money. You may be lucky and own your own piece of land but I'm sure the tax man comes around once a year and doesn't accept junk in trade.....first you must sell your junk and pay in cash....superstitions are just fairy tales humans made up to either frighten children or get them to act right....yes its stupid to walk under a ladder and dangerous but will it truly effect our lives....if i break a mirror will I have 7 years of bad luck....I doubt it as I have broken many before....good luck often comes from hard work and proper/prior planning
