In many people's minds, it is bad to fail. When they fail, they become losers and others will look down on them. As a result, they are afraid to try new things.
However, failures don't have to make us losers. It's common to fail. So, don't feel bad about yourself because of your failures. What you should do is learn from them. If so, you will get better and grow.
Many famous people had failures before they became successful. Also, they weren't scared to share them with others. In fact, there is now a special day for that. It is International Day for Failure.
International Day for Failure is on October 13. It started as an initiative(倡议)of some students in Finland. The students found that Finland needed a lot of new jobs, but few people wanted to give them a try. The reason was that they were scared to fail. Then the students came up with the idea—creating the Day for Failure.
In 2010, a group of students in Finland celebrated the first holiday for failure. The next year, many famous people in Finland joined the students and shared their failure stories. In the third year, the day became more popular. Over 10 countries celebrated it. Now people around the world celebrate it every October.
So, this October 13, join them and celebrate your failure with the world.
