"When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn't plan to revolutionise all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic, or bacteria killer, But I suppose that was exactly what I did."

I think that Alexander is the best example of someone who changed the world.
He saved many lives even after his death and he keep saving a lot of lives because of his discovery.

Alexander Fleming discovered antibiotics by chance.

While sorting his Petri dishes he noticed something strange in one dish. While he had been away a mold grown on the dish. That in itself wasn’t strange, however this mold killed the bacteria that was in this dish. Only after several years Fleming made the penicllin.
