I stood in front of my entire lab and told them I had made zero progress in the last year. At the graduate programme's annual presentation, highlighting students' successes, Michelle and I were taking a different approach, sharing our most painful failures. The audience sat in silence, apparently shocked. But we weren't ashamed. Quite the opposite — we were proud to be sharing our full selves and building a foundation for relationships.

Setbacks are an unavoidable part of graduate school, but too often we try to hide them. By sharing our whole selves, including our failures, we went on to build a deep, meaningful relationship. And we wanted others to experience that openness and support.

We began the workshop by presenting our stories onstage. Then we invited the participants to turn to one another and share their own significant failures. An awkward silence followed, as we had expected, but it only lasted a few seconds. Soon the students jumped into engaged and enthusiastic conversation. Students even formed larger groups as they realised how many of their colleagues shared the exact struggles they did. Even after the session ended, whispered conversations continued until the next speaker took the stage.

From that point forward, every presentation included some mention of the failures that led to the results. It reminded us that behind every impressive result is a person who is just trying his best. Since the workshop, we have noticed a sustained change in our classmates. The answers to questions like “How are you doing？” are more sincere and less perfunctory, and several students have mentioned they feel closer to their classmates.

It's hard to relate to someone when all you know about them is their accomplishments. Talking about failure normalises it and proves it's nothing to be ashamed of.

The International Day of Happiness, March 20th, is a United Nations project which has a serious purpose. The UN thinks happiness will only be for everyone when the people of the world are equal.

On this date, the centre of the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, which is called an equinox (春分). On the equinox, day and night last for almost equal time all over the Earth. The equinox is felt by everyone on the planet, which matches perfectly with the idea behind the Day of Happiness. Since 2013, the Day of Happiness has been celebrated in all 193 United Nations member states. The United Nations invites each person of any age to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness.

The idea goes back to 1972, when the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, said that they should measure a country's progress by its happiness and not just how much it produces or how much money it makes. He called it Gross National Happiness (GNH). Again, it is more than just a nice idea. Bhutan developed a system to measure happiness based on things like people's psychological health, their general health, how they spend their time, where they live, their education and their environment. People in Bhutan answer about 300 questions, and the results are compared every year to measure progress. The government uses the results and the ideas behind GNH to make decisions for the country.

In 2011，a UN adviser called Jayme Illien suggested the idea of an international day to increase happiness. His plan was accepted by Secretary­General Ban Ki­moon in 2012. Jayme was born in Calcutta, India, and he became an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by an American nurse, Anna Belle Illien. She travelled the world to help orphans and she took Jayme with her. He saw children like him, but who were not as lucky as him because they were often escaping wars or they were very poor. He wanted to do something about it, so he worked in the areas of children's and human rights.

The UN measures and compares the happiness of different countries in the World Happiness Report. It bases its report on social, economic and environmental well­being. The UN also sets goals for countries to achieve to increase happiness because it says happiness is a basic human right. Happiness should not be something people have because they are lucky to live in a place where they have basic things like peace, education and access to healthcare.
