If you could meet one person in history, who would be that person and why?
Meeting one person in history is not something I have really imagined before. However, if I could meet one person in history, he would be Alfred Bernhard Nobel. I know that people know few things from this great man. I will tell you what I know about him later. I will also explain what makes me want to choose him.
Firstly, I will give you some information about Alfred Nobel. He saw that the people who wanted to explode something, such as making a tunnel through a mountain, had to be very careful since they could not control the explosion. After that, he invented dynamites that were very useful, even until now. However, he regretted his invention because dynamites were also used in wars. He had never got married until the end of his life. He wrote a will that stated that all of his money should be given to people who could do something to make this world better. We know this as Nobel Prize. This story is perhaps not purely right since it has been a long time since I read it. However, the story is more or less like this.
The story is one of the reasons why I choose him while I can choose Einstein, Thomas Edison, or Elvis Presley. Everything in this world can have any negative effects. However, he realised at last that negative effect of his invention could kill many innocent people. Finally, Nobel Prize is absolutely great. In my opinion, Nobel Prize remains unbeatable up until now since there is not another prize to do something useful for the world in many aspects. I think that getting a Nobel Prize can make me prouder that getting two Oscars. Because of this, Alfred Nobel is also truly great.
If I could meet Alfred Nobel, I would have some conversations with him. I want to encourage him. He should not be so depressed because it would not make anything better. Many other inventions in the world also have negative effects. In addition, I also want to praise him for the brilliant idea of Nobel Prize. The most important thing is that if I met him, I would talk to him as a friend, not as an annoying person.
To sum up, I would choose Alfred Nobel if I could met one person in history because he was a great person as I have explained. Perhaps I do not know many things about him. Nevertheless, for me, he was not just a person in history. He was a great person. However, I did not really want to meet anyone in history. It will be rather creepy, won’t it?
