MERCHANT OF PEACE

          MERCHANT OF PEACE
       **************************
   About a century ago, one fine morning, an oom opened and looked at the morning newspaper. He was utterly shocked and stunned to read his name in obituary column. It was a faux pas committed by the newspaper staff. Regaining his composure a tad later,he thought to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read,
  " Dynamite King dies.He was the merchant of death."
     This oom was the inventor of dynamite.When he read the words'merchant of death', he mused,"Is this how I am going to be remembered?"From that day on, he began working for peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the Nobel Prize. Just as he redefined his values, we ought to step back and emulate his example.
*****************************************Lesson to be learnt from this story--------------
  Ask yourself...
    "How would I like to be remembered after death? Will I be spoken well of? Will I be remembered with love and respect? Will I be missed?"
