In 1888, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the orbituary column. The newspapers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. At first he was shocked but after regaining his composure he decided to read what people had said about him. It said "Dynamite King Dies". It also said that he was the merchant of death.
The man was the inventor of dynamite and was unimpressed with the words "merchant of death". he did not want to be remembered that way. He then decided to start working towards peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and today he is remembered by the Great Nobel Prize.
