Question about a phrase. Hi! There is a phrase: Here is something else I have learned: The fastest runners and the greatest heroes don’t always win races and battles. Wisdom, intelligence, and skill don’t always make you healthy, rich, or popular. We each have our share of bad luck. I have two questions: 1. In the sentence "We each have our share of bad luck", if I add the word "own" so that the sentence turns as "We each have our own share of bad luck", does in this case the sentence change its meaning? 2. Why in that sentence we use "our share of bad luck"? Why not "our share of good luck"? ))))

Understanding the phrase "fell sound aleep" Hi everybody. I'd like to ask those, who are native English speakers, about the phrase "fell sound asleep". Firstly I met this phrase in the Bibile. It's written in Acts as: "I was in the town of Joppa and was praying when I fell sound asleep and had a vision." So, I couldn't translate and understand this phrase and just look at Russian version of the Bible. But I'd like to know examples of using this phrase between those who speak English. And please explain me the meaning of this phrase. And of course, correct my English in this question))))

Do we appreciate the conditions we live in? One time I confronted with statistic expressed in very interesting form: "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a religious meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people across the globe. If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. And if you can read this, you are more blessed than over two billion people who cannot read at all." Each time I read this statistic I wonder weather I appreciate the conditions I live in? And you?
