Hi Torsten,
My national culture is originated from China and I think I’m really superstitious. I often go to pagoda for praying good things for my family. My mother and my wife usually worship the ancestor on fifteenth day of lunar month. I will not do important things on Friday 13th, I think it’s an unfortunate day. How about you ?
Best regards
Hi Sue
Your asking me if I’m superstitious? My answer is, I’m not superstitious. I simply know superstitious are events that will happen if you will agree and do the things required base on your personal beliefs.An why I’m not, because first superstitious has no bases, it’s created by a person after he had experienced the good things that happened in his life. Second it’s just a sayings probably from traditions of any culture created by depraved mind because of sin.
Sue, I’ll tell you the truth of the matter is that, all things happenning in this world and in every human being was already appointed before the time, I mean before creation it was predetermined, like for example is, before I became a member of this forum, it was certained that this topic or question was planned by God, and this will bring it to pass. I believe the sovereignity of God and His perfect will to my life and the life of others as well.
thank you

Hi all,
I agree with smiling09. Superstition is something related to the custom in our country, Vietnam.
Don’t you believe the fate, nor a supernatural power? If so, please explain the questions below.
I have a close friend. She was born in a poor family of farmers. Her parents tried their best to work for living. They never dared rest for their hope of a better life. However, the life was not as they’d expected.Their children were often sick. One day, an old woman told them that they had a problem with their kitchen and asked them to move it to another place. And they should make an altar to offer three Kitchen Gods. They followed, and everything becomes much better since then.
I don’t know whether it is a superstition. :roll: Someone said it was the time their fate had changed; and God or Buddha helped them by making that woman visit them.
For you, why their life has become better and better since the woman appeared? Don’t tell me that is a coincidence.
I’m a bit superstitious. Here in Bulgaria we think when we put the handbag on the floor we will be poor after that. When a black cat pass in front of you you have to go back three steps backward. Possibly this is not allways thrue. It dipends on the nationality and many other things. Somethimes the situation is very funny. But here the questin is: When you drive your car and a black cat pass in front of you, what will you do :lol: ?

Hi, Torsten and everybody.
Many people in my country are superstitious: they fear black cats, people with dark eyes, the number 13. Some years ago I was quite superstitious. For example I tried to predict the future with the help of cards and coffee. My friend called me stupestitious. 
Now I still have some habits which help me to keep calm when something is going wrong. I spit three times after I have said something that may ‘put the evil eye’ and look into a mirror when I have to return. As for 13, that’s my mother’s and my cousin’s birthday.
Dear Mr. Torsten,
Goodmorning to you.
Thank you for your English Lesson no. 13. You asked me whether I am Superstitious ? Regarding No. 13 I am . I don’t like no. 13. Without any reason I don’t like to do good things on 13th. Many unexpected, negative things happened on 13th. So I don’t do any auspicious things on this date. It is my own feeling. I don’t know why ?
Mr. Torsten, what about you ? I would also like to hear from you.
Regarding the test and lessons I will write later.
Good day to you.
Regards
Rani
Yes, I am superstitious but that is not about superstitions written in books or popular in society for example I find no. 13 is lucky for me as my parents got married on this date.
My superstitions are accumulated by my own experiences, like, when I see black dog in the morning, I find it lucky, also if something unusual happen to me I expect some good news in near future. 
Hi Dear Torsten and everybody!
I am surprised to notice that several superstitions that there are in my country are in many other countries. Simply the same!
I would like to say I am not superstitious!
I belive in God with me.
I would like to add that in my country, besides all susperstitions, people belive too much in saint’miracles. They hope good things will fall from the sky! They hope, hope and hope…
All the best for everybody

On Friday 13th, my behaviour isn’t changed.It’s an ordinary day .But in Romania people is superstitious on Tuesday 13th-the 3 badluck moments day.But I really don’t care, if something is going to happen to you , there is no way to foresight it and do anything about it. So I’m not superstitious.
Hey to everyone! It’s quite an interesting topic about superstitions, I think. Every culture has it’s own superstitions that you will even never guess about In my country, for example, parents wear on their new-born baby’s wrist a red thread in order to word off curse. But I don’t believe this because I think that only a sincere prayer can save a baby from a bad eye. I can’t say that I’m superstitious… but sometimes happens. To tell the truth I got married on Friday the 13th We decided to challenge that day and show that relations between the courple depended on their own only and not the day they were married on. The result is a good marriage for 4 years and a 3 year old daughter And I’m completely agree with Conchita as to the human’s mind power.
In my neighbourhood even dogs wear red ribbons or plaits maid by their ‘mothers’.
first I am not superstitious person because I could not believe in any thing
Oh no… You are married 
(just kidding Maryann

Dear Mr Torsten

Hello every one
I’m not superstitious, because I believe in sciences as I studied in secondary school. But some times I prefer to think as old persons, over all if I begin my day with bad incidents or accidents. In that case I feel that day perhaps become bad day and I must handle slowly and keeping my mind opened against every things.
I ask you to correct my mistakes if I have made any.
Best regards.

As for me, i am not supestitioius. Some people said that if you cross beneth the underpants of women, your luck will lose. Let’s think about where we are born, yes, it is from the birth canal (vigina). So, if you think so, everyone will lose luck in this world.
Hi Torster
Torster I am not quite clear with the subject, “Are you superstitious,” I mean i don’t understand the word “superstitious”. I gues it might be something good or bad.
Hi Chol,
If you are superstitious, you believe in luck or magical forces. This can either be good or bad – it just depends on how you look at it.
