It's The Journey That Counts!
Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow! What a ride!"

Picture
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." __Albert Einstein

This seems like an appropriate day, being Friday the 13th. Without the possibility of failure there is no success, they go hand-in-hand. After all, failure means you have grabbed the opportunity to succeed.
Day for Failure is the best day to show some stupidity, error estimation, awkward moments, and other fails to the world.
So let’s celebrate our shortcomings and failures, share our experiences and promote the understanding of failure as a learning experience. One thing is for sure, you won’t be alone. Tweets: #DayForFailure

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
__Paulo Coelho

● International Moment of
   Frustration Scream Day
To share any or all of our frustrations, all citizens of the world will go outdoors at twelve hundred hours Greenwich time and scream for thirty seconds.  We will all feel better, or Earth will go off its orbit.  Co-sponsored by Low Thresholders of the Earth League.
