How Would You Like to be Remembered ?


Welcome to 75th Monday Musings:

It’s a true incident that occurred about a hundred years back.


There was a man who once got surprised by seeing his name in the obituary column of the morning newspaper.

The newspaper had reported his death by mistake.

That man was really shocked to see what was written, at an instance he thought ‘am I really dead’ after a while when he gained consciousness he searched the column to find out what the people might have said about him.

The column begins as follows “Dynamite King Dies”, followed by the phrase “He was the merchant of death”.

This man was actually an inventor of dynamite technology, when he read the column he went in great worry and stress that is this how he’ll be remembered by others.





He was really hurt by what the newspapers said about him, the harsh words made him get emotional and touch with his feelings.

He stood up realizing that this is definitely not the way he wants himself to be remembered.

He promised himself that he’ll work in a way that makes him remembered by others with great respect and positivity.

From that day on he started working towards peace.

His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the famous Nobel Prize




Moral of the story :

It’s never too late to start doing good things, start today so you will be remembered in way you always want to be.



Do Good work and keep doing it, and Make your life worth remember !

Make it a great Week!
