                    Virtue is its own reward. There's a pleasure in doing good that sufficiently pays itself." It's too bad we can't all read our obituaries and determine how other people view our life. There is at least one exception to this and that is Alfred Nobel. Nobel was the wealthy Swedish businessman who established the Nobel Prize. He had invented dynamite and became one of the world's largest producers of explosives.
