COULD today be the most successful day of the century?

According to the Association of Meridian Therapies, it might be just that.

It has singled out the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth year as World Success Day.

The number eight is considered lucky in asian culture, because in Chinese it sounds similar to the word prosper.

It is calling for everyone to take time out of their day to make a toast celebrating their past, embracing the present, and looking hopefully towards the future.

So, forget the dropping house prices, the rising cost of living and have a happy Friday.
