How Will You Be Remembered?

It was just a normal morning. 

Alfred Nobel sat in his chair to read the newspaper. 

While he was drinking his coffee, a headline caught his eye: The Merchant of Death, Alfred Nobel, Is Dead.

“What? What is this?”

Reading the article, he dropped his cup in surprise. 

His coffee spilled all over his clothes and desk, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the newspaper.

 

  

 

The article was about his own death! 

It said Nobel had died in France from a heart attack.

“Oh my goodness! Am I dead?”

Catching his breath, Nobel kept reading. 

Soon, he became even more shocked. 

The article described him as the inventor of dynamite and other dangerous objects for war. 

It said that he had become rich from the deaths of others. He couldn’t believe his eyes. 

It was true that dynamite was one of his many inventions. 

But he never imagined that the world would think of him as “the merchant of death.”

  

 

Nobel was deeply disappointed.

“How could this be? 

This is unbelievable! I’m not a merchant of death. I want to be remembered in a different way. 

I want to be remembered as a person who made the world better.”

He decided to change people’s opinions about him.

  

 

In 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly reported Alfred Nobel’s death. 

The person who had actually died was his brother, Ludvig. Thanks to the report, however, Nobel decided to do something to contribute to the world. 

In 1895, he decided to use his money to create the Nobel Prize. Originally, there were only five awards. 

A sixth award was added in 1968. 

Today, when we think of Alfred Nobel, we think of the Nobel Prize, rather than dynamite.
