Thomas Edison was a famous scientist.
In his childhood, he lost his ability to speak due to a fever.
When he was small, one day he came home from school and handed a sealed envelope to his mother, which the teacher had given him to pass on.
His mother opened it, read it, and tears filled her eyes.
Then she read aloud, “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him, and there aren’t any good teachers here who can teach him, so you should teach him yourself.”
After that, his mother took the responsibility of educating him.
Years later, when Thomas Edison had become a famous scientist, and his mother had passed away, he was going through old family papers and found the same letter.
He opened the letter, and it read, “Your son is extremely dull (mentally incapable) and unfit. We can no longer keep him in school.”
That same day, Edison wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was a mentally unfit child, but a great mother made him the greatest scientist of the century.”
Mothers shape generations.
