For me it's my lucky number! But I decided it to be for a test and it became, so charms and stuff people think change their lives it's really their mind doing it. I believe we make our luck, it seems to move to wherever I believed it to be.

yeah, i guess it is only a charm or something.. since if you come to think of it people are the one's making their lives.. if people are lazy then he's life is miserable but if people work hard then i'm pretty sure their lives is in luxury.. and if there were people who happen to work hard but happens not to get what they wanted perhaps what they worked hard for is not enough to get such desire of living their lives in luxury..

Hi there... In India, the number "8" is not considered good. If someone is born on an "8" number date (08th, 17th, 26th), it means that there life will be full of endless traveling. They would not be able to settle down in one place.. It also symbolizes a person who tends to run away from problems/issues in their lives... Now, I am not a believer of these things but people in India are strong believers in numerology. They are such strong believers that they plan their daily activities around numerology.

it is endless though, since if the figure eight will be drawn sideways then it is an infinity symbol maybe that is why people in India believed it that way.. :D

In my country the number 8 seems to be a lucky number as it pronounces like "making rich". So many people will choose this number for the cellphone number and so on. As to me, this is an ordinary number because it is not special for me. I love China

Doesn't the Chinese character for a boat feature eight mouths, reflecting the eight people that were saved in Noah's Ark? Noah's Ark, of course, was a type of Christ, all in Whom are saved, and no one else.

My cousins are half-chinese and for them, the number 8 is a lucky number. For me, it's the symbol of infinity when written sideways.
