Outstanding contributions

953 nut

Nobel Prize Day is celebrated each year on December first. Celebrating excellence in diverse fields, the Nobel Prize recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to humanity's progress.

One of the highest honors that can be earned in various forms of science and other admirable work, the Nobel Prize is awarded annually on Nobel Prize Day. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded on December 10, 1901, which was the fifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel.

Nobel was a Swedish scientist, inventor and businessman who was also passionate about writing drama and poetry. He is particularly notable as the inventor of dynamite and other high explosives, and held more than 350 patents in his lifetime.

When Alfred Nobel wrote his will in 1895, it established that prizes would be awarded each year to commemorate and honor those who made significant achievements in the areas of science, medicine, literature and peace.

Most of his fortune was left to this cause and, although no official reason was given for the motivation behind the prizes, many have guessed it was his guilt over being the person who invented such destructive weapons that made him want to start the endeavor.

Now, for more than a century, Nobel Prizes have been awarded each year on Nobel Prize Day in Stockholm, Sweden, where Alfred Nobel was born and where he spent a large portion of his adult life.

I am trying for the Nobel in Poetry... :occasion-clown:

 

A Haiku...


Alfred Nobel's Day

Blowing things up is one way

To be very rich

 

A Limerick...

 

There once was a man named Nobel

Who invented many things that were swell

He liked to make things that go boom

And now that he's in his tomb

They blow all his money to hell
