Norwegian ambassador remembers his “most painful day” at U.N. Former Ambassador to the United Nations Morten Wetland says it was the day Norway awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama. The decision was met with “considerable derision and criticism.”
“I think everyone wanted to know what motivated the (awarding) committee. But when I was going down to the U.N. in New York, nobody talked about it. It was weird because the U.N. is a talking shop. And people just looked at their shoes.”
Confucius say: Having people embarrassed for you, more painful than having people angry with you.
