A teacher gave a letter to ten years old boy and said-
Give this letter to your mother.
Boy after reaching home gave that letter to his
mother.
As soon his mother read the letter, tears came in her
eyes and she began to weep.
When the boy saw that his mother was weeping then he
asked the reason- Why are you weeping? What has been written in this letter?
She wiped
her tears and told with smile- In this, it is written that your son is very
intelligent; even smarter than his classmates. Our school’s level is very low for
your child and our teachers are also not well educated, so we can’t teach him very
well. He should take admission in any better school.
Many
years passed away and that boy had become a very famous inventor but then his
mother was not alive.
One
day, he was seeing his old memorable things then only he saw a letter which was
kept along with his mother’s photograph. He excitedly opened it, by reading
that letter tears came in his eyes.
It
was the same letter which his teacher had given to him in his childhood. It had
written- Your child is intellectually retarded, so we have cut his name from the school. You should arrange his studies to the
school for intellectually retarded children.
This
is not a fictitious story; it is based on true fact. It is the story of great
and famous inventor of Bulb and Gramophone, named Thomas Alva Edison. In his
childhood, Edison was suffered from a mental illness called ‘Austin’; but by
encouragement and hard work of his mother, he became a great Inventor.
If
his mother read that letter in the same way as it was written by the teacher
then today we might be living by burning lanterns and candles.
Reading
that letter, Edison was shocked; cried for hours and then he wrote in his
diary– A great mother made an intellectually weak child a great Inventor of the
century.
Dear
friends, After getting right encouragement, a weak and dull student can do
something huge in their life with courage and strong will power. The mother who
encourages her child is the true supporter of her child. Thank You.
