　　Do Lucky Numbers Really Bring Good Luck?Good morning， 　　ladies and gentlemen！　　Today it is my great honor to be here and give my speech about 　　lucky numbers.　　Many people believe that some numbers are lucky numbers and 　　some are bad numbers. They claim that lucky numbers like6， 8， 16， 　　and 18， or any numbers ending in 8 can bring them good luck， while 　　bad numbers like 4 can bring disasters. They think the lucky 　　numbers have magic power， and their success or failures are 　　related to certain numbers. That is why we can see the number 8 is 　　so popular on most price tags in our country. Some people pay much 　　more money for their telephone numbers or car plate numbers with 　　an 8 or 6 in them. But do the socalled lucky numbers really bring 　　good luck?　　Well， as far as I am concerned， this belief is superstitious 　　and ridiculous. Take the number 8 for example， it is believed to 　　be the lucky number only because its sound happens to be identical 　　to that of the word of "make a fortune" in Cantonese. This is just 　　a coincidence. There is no connection between sound andsense. Just 　　as Shakespeare once said， "If we call a rose by any other name， it 　　would smell sweet as well." Indeed there is nothing mysterious 　　about lucky numbers. A number is a thing，and good luck is another. 　　They have nothing to do with each other. How can you ever have any 　　good luck simply because of some lucky numbers even if you don" t 　　work hard， don" t have good opportunities or don"t get along well 　　with the people around you? Numbers were invented by mankind， so 　　they should serve people instead of being our master and 　　controlling us.　　As a matter of fact， I think those people who depend on lucky 　　numbers for their fortune or success lack 　　self-confidence.Remember， it is not numbers that bring good luck; 　　it is our hard work， our own ability and our strong will that help 　　us succeed.　　As for me， if my number in this speech contest were 4 or 14， I 　　would not be frightened. Or if it were 8 or 18， I would not be 　　overjoyed， either. What I will do， and that is actually what I am 　　doing now， is to try my best to demonstrate myself，to speak out my 　　mind， and to be the master of my own destiny.　　Thank you very much！
