Apparently I may have been born lucky: those born in May tend to have better luck and be more optimistic about life. The finding is based on web survey of 30,000 people, asking a series of questions about how lucky people perceived themselves to be.
The scientists think the difference in outlook stems from the effect that daylight hours may have on dopamine, a brain signalling chemical, and early brain development of the foetus.
And according to the survey, those born in November tend to have the worst luck.

I totally agree with the born lucky statement – born May 24th – highlights of being lucky – 2002 hit by a car ended up only with a badly bruised leg, rucksack took the impact,- 1996 was mean to visit Canary Wharf area for a drink after work, however decided not two hours a bomb went off in the place where we going to drink. I think the saying is you fall in dog mess and come up smelling of roses!!
