They also think that people born under different star signs have different characteristics. In their opinion，if you were born on 16th May，you should be stubborn（固执的），hard-working and patient. You do not like change，and never give up easily. ls it completely right？I dont think so. A persons birthday cant be decided by himself. But his characteristics can be changed by the environment around him. I have a friend. He was born on 15th April and belongs to Aries（白羊座）. According to the information about Aries，we know that people of Aries are sometimes too impatient and a little selfish. But my friend always does things patiently and he often thinks of others more than himself and isnt selfish at all. He isnt interested in becoming a leader and just does what he should do. So I think not all the people born under the same star sign share similar characteristics. That may just be a coincidence.26 .
