Spirituality and License Plates

Vietnamese culture values spirituality and feng shui. Choosing a license plate is often approached with this in mind:

Feng Shui Consultation: Many seek advice from feng shui experts for a license plate number that aligns with their birthdate and destiny, hoping for good luck and prosperity.
Reverse Numbers: Some prefer reverse number pairs like 68 – 86, 39 – 93, believing they attract wealth and fortune.

However, according to spiritual expert John Smith (USA), author of “The Power of Numbers,” a license plate number only plays a minor role in one’s destiny. Hard work and perseverance are key to success.
