Win the Nobel Peace Prize

In 1947, the Nobel Peace Prize was presented to all Quakers everywhere, represented by two organizations, the Friends Service Council in England, and the American Friends Service Committee in the US.

I only hope that others think of me as carrying on the good work.

I was recently thinking about what the biggest career accomplishment in my life could be. I thought that if I could contribute to peace in the world, that would be significant enough to be proud of myself. I want to do it.

I really want to do this because peace is very inportant in this war filled enviroment. For all of you that want to do this too, please join this conquest for peace….

This isn’t really a goal of mine, just a hopeful side effect of my desire to influence the world. There are some people out there that deserve this award but will never receive it, and even if I am one such as those, truly my achievements are more valuable of a prize than any that can be handed to me.

Because is my dream to be able to succede in life and help humanity to find peace and live in harmony and happiness.

Oh well, nobody even nominated me for this year’s shortlist. Might have more chance going for the prize for literature.

I mean, I dont mind sharing the prize with a few billion others. It would be unfair to take all the glory. Wanna join me? Just be cool with people. We gotta live together. All men are sisters. Peace.

i worked at the iaea which as an organisation and its employees is a recepient of the nobel peace prize. have i contributed? well i spent almost 5 years of my life doing the best job i could, so be the judge ;-)

So I guess I’ll have to keep trying. ;) This goal may seem delusional, but research has shown that the higher you aim the more you achieve. People who believed they could become Supreme Court Justices reached higher professional levels than people who believed they could be a District Attorney, according to one study.
I don’t actually EXPECT to reach this goal, but putting it out there at least points me in the right direction.

OK, so this one is VERY unlikely to end up in my “I’ve done this” category. But what I like about the goal is:

• Even if I don’t reach the goal, it’ll probably help me do more powerful, far-reaching things.
• It’s already helped me several times (more on that later).
• It’s like “dreaming the impossible dream”.
• What if 100,000 people had this goal? Do you think that a hundred thousand people could make positive strides towards Justice and world peace?
