About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning paper and, to his horror, saw his name in the death column. The newspapers had accidentally reported his death. The man was shocked and read the article to see what people wrote about him. The obituary said, “Dynamite King Dies” And also, “He was the merchant of death.”

This man was the inventor of dynamite, but when he read the words “merchant of death,” he asked himself, Will I be remembered like this? He realized he didn’t want that to be his legacy, and from that day on he worked on peace projects. His name was Alfred Nobel, and today he is remembered by the great Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel redefined what he was known for and what values ​​he wanted to dedicate his life to. How do you want to be remembered?
