October 13th is International
Day for Failure. A new holiday intended for people to share stories
of failure and learn from them. The goal of the people organizing
the event is to have it be an internationally-recognized holiday by
2020.
The holiday was created in Finland in 2010. In 2012 it has expanded
to over 17 different countries, their goal is for it to be accepted
worldwide by 2020. In 2011, their campaign got over 30 public
figures in Finland to talk about their failures. They managed to
reach 1/4 of the population with their media coverage. LINK It
will be interesting to see if their failure campaign will be a
success.
