Perception Management Bible (#PMBible): ALFRED NOBEL: The Merchant of Death I am sure you must have read or heard about the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. The NOBEL PRIZE is just a PERCEPTION changing tool. Alfred Nobel, the man this award is named after made his money from inventing dynamite and other types of explosives, such as “ballistite”, which was the precursor to quite a lot of military grade explosive devices. In 1888, his brother, Ludvig, Nobel died, and a French newspaper mistakenly thought it had been Alfred Nobel himself who died. The newspaper published the obituary under the title: “The Merchant of Death is Dead”, the newspaper further wrote: “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” When Nobel read this, he began thinking of how to improve his public image (CHANGE this PERCEPTION) after his death and decided on leaving his enormous fortune to fund a set of prizes named after himself. Hence, the Nobel Prizes were created as awards for people who made the greatest contributions to mankind in subjects that interested Nobel, namely Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Peace. My QUESTION: How do you want to be PERCEIVED? Take away: The way you are PERCEIVED is DAMAGING or ENRICHING your REPUTATIONAL VALUE!
