One day Thomas Edison came home and
gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave
this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.”
.
His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out
loud to her child: Your son is a genius.
This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough
good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.
.
After many, many years, Edison’s mother died and he
was now one of the greatest inventors
of the century, one day he was looking through old family
things.
.
Suddenly he
saw a folded paper in the corner of a
drawer in a desk. He
took it and opened it up.
.
On the paper was written: Your son is
addled [mentally ill].
We won’t let him come to school any
more.
.
Edison cried for hours and then he
wrote in his diary
.
“Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero
mother, became the genius of the century.”
.
Never Give up. Be confident. Remember
any battle is won twice – FIRST IN YOUR HEAD
.
