thought for the day - Kindness

By
Real Estate Agent with Rich Sellers Lake Arrowhead, CA (Coldwell Banker)

Alfred Nobel had an opportunity afforded to very few. When his brother died, the newspaper confused the two and published Alfred’s obituary instead of his brother’s. As he read his own obituary, Alfred realized that the world would remember him for his invention of dynamite -- an instrument of destruction. It was because of that experience that he decided to fund the Nobel Prizes. Today, most of the world knows his name in connection with humankind’s greatest achievements. Good deeds live on in the minds of others. When you do a kindness for someone else, you set in motion a force for good that will remain long after you’re gone.

Rich, What a great story. I am always watching the Discovery Channel and they have stories like this all the time. I did not know the history of the Nobel Peace Prize. He must have really be upset, first to lose his brother and then to read his obit instead of his brother's. I believe good things come from bad. A lot of great Americans as well as many from other countries have been awarded this prestigious award. Hooray for Alfred Noble and his brother too.

The proper use of his invention is great. We, sometimes only think of the negative. The "Nobel" prizes are a teriffic thing. Like everything else, some times the selection committee  gets it wrong! Enjoy the day!
