The story of the Nobel Peace Prize

You’ve heard of the Nobel Peace Prize, but have you heard the story about how it originated? 

One day, as Alfred Nobel was reading the newspaper he was shocked to find his own obituary.
It was a mistake, of course, but it was a surreal experience.

So what did it say?!

The paper mainly talked about how Alfred Nobel’s brainchild, dynamite, was responsible for many deaths. 

Alfred was stunned. 

The thought that people would remember him by a product that killed others caused him great sadness.
Overcome by remorse, he decided to make a more positive contribution to the world.
From that day forward, he would focus on peace.
The idea of the Nobel Peace Prize was born (in 1895).

This just goes to show that even if you've pursued selfish goals your whole life, you can always turn things around!
