The man who changed his life after reading his own obituary
Christmas Carol-like, innit?

The story behind the Nobel Peace Prize.

IIRC Nobel invented dynamite to help in mining or something like that and regretted its use as a weapon.

Much like many years later some scientists (such as Oppenheimer and Meitner IIRC) regretted that their work helped build the atomic bomb.
