In some countries, particular importance is placed upon the years in a person's life when their age numbers double-up. eg 22, 33, 44, 55, 66 etc. 4 + 4 = 8 and apparently the numbers 4 and 8 get along quite well and complement each other. 8 is visionary, a goal-getter, result and business orientated, but it doesn't waste time on the details. And you guessed it, the number 4 is the most detail oriented number of ALL – the organiser and manager. Together they make a formidable pair. If an 8 is based on 44, it's potential for success is further enhanced. Very interesting indeed.
