HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the
morning newspaper and to his surprise and
horror, read his name in the obituary column.
The news papers had reported the death of the
wrong person by mistake. His first response was
shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his
composure, his second thought was to find out
what people had said about him. The obituary
read, "Dynamite King Dies."
And also "He was
the merchant of death." This man was the
inventor of dynamite and when he read the
words "merchant of death," he asked himself a
question, "Is this how I am going to be
remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings
and decided that this was not the way he
wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he
started working toward peace. His name was
Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the
great Nobel Prize.
Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his
feelings and redefined his values, we should step
back and do the same.
