Your legacy?

It must have been about a hundred years ago...

To be exact, one hundred and fifteen years ago...

The man looked at the morning newspaper to find his name in the obituary column.

The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person...

of course a mistake, but a big one.

His name was entered in the place of somebody else who died that day.

His first response was shock.

He squeezed his hands to make sure he was alive.

"Am I here or there?"

When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out

what people had remarked about him.

Comments read,

"Dynamite King Dies"..... "He was the merchant of death" and so on.

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 did not want to be known thus after his death...

No, this was not the way he wanted to be remembered at all..

From that day onwards, he started working toward peace;

not for destruction by means of dynamite.

You identify him now, right?

His name was Alfred Nobel and is best remembered for the great Nobel Prize.


Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values,

we need to step back and do the same.

So, what is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?.... merchant of what?


Would the following words describe you -


commitment, courage, compassion, love, justice, motivation, passion,

determination, humility, honesty, integrity, sensitivity, sincerity, serenity, wisdom...?

Will you be remembered with love and respect when you are gone?

And, will you be fondly missed?

The question is for you to answer..now...

As you are aware....

The Nobel Prizes are annual international awards bestowed by Scandinavian

committees in recognition of cultural and scientific advancements. The will

of the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, established

the prizes in 1895. The prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine,

Literature, and Peace were first awarded in 1901.

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

was instituted by Sveriges Riksbank in1968 and was first awarded in 1969.

Although technically not a Nobel Prize, its announcements and presentations

are made along with the other prizes, with the exception of the Peace Prize

which is awarded in Oslo, Norway. Each Nobel Prize is regarded as the most

prestigious award in its field.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prize in Physics,

the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic

Sciences. The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet awards the Nobel

Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The Swedish Academy grants the Nobel

Prize in Literature. The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded by a Swedish

organisation but by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend..

Love,

Prof. Dr. Alex Abraham Odikandathil
