Jinx?

      Have you heard about Jinx? If so what is your jinx? Jinx is a type of curse placed on a person that makes them prey to many minor misfortunes and other forms of bed luck. One of the most obvious examples is "Curse of bambino". Some people have their own jinx. Especially there are lots of jinx in sports.

   The Curse of the Bambino was superstition for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series in the 86years from 1918 to 2004. It began after the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in the 1919. Before selling, Red Sox had been one of the most successful baseball team. They had been winning the first World Series and getting five World Series titles. But ironically after selling, they went without a title for almost 100years, however Yankees became one of the most successful team in American sport team. This jinx has broken up at 2004 World Series.

   Recently, other famous jinx had broken up. It was “Lyon jinx” that made from Real Madrid soccer team. As you know, Real Madrid is the World famous soccer team, but they had weakness for Lyon, which is popular soccer team in France, in the Champions League. Real Madrid was lost for 7 years by Lyon. Looked at objectively, Real Madrid is stronger than Lyon. They have more world top class players and also have more winning experiences than Lyon. However they lose all the time during 7 years. It couldn't explain without jinx, but it also broke.

   Sometimes jinx makes us weakly. If we faced something wrong situation, we thought 'it is my destiny' and gave up very easily. Besides, bad situation always bring another bad situation. But we have to know, sometimes we make that situation ourselves. We can control our problem. Finally jinx is broken. Make our way by ourselves.
