Known for inventing dynamite, Nobel also owned Bofors, which he had redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannon and other armaments. Nobel held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. After reading a premature obituary which condemned him for profiting from the sales of arms, he bequeathed his fortune to institute theNobel Prizes. The synthetic elementnobelium was named after him. His name also survives in modern-day companies such as Dynamit Nobel andAkzoNobel, which are descendants of mergers with companies Nobel himself established.
Part 1 of 4: Creating an Environment for Proper Concentration

1Choose the right spot. A quiet place with a suitable environment. Whether it is your room or a library, choose an atmosphere that is silent & free of distractions in order to concentrate.

There should be no strain on your back, neck, or eyes – pain is also a distraction.
