10. The Genius Mother
Insight: When difficulty comes, understand that life wants to teach something new.
One day, young Thomas Alva Edison came home crying. Placing a letter in his mother’s hand, he said, “My teacher told me that only you should read this letter.”
His mother read the letter. Tears came to her eyes. With a gentle smile, she said to Thomas, “My dear child, your teacher has written, ‘Your son is a genius. This school does not have any teachers capable of educating him according to his ability. Please teach him at home.’” His mother made a firm decision and started teaching Edison at home.
Years later, Edison became a great inventor and scientist known across the world. One day, while going through his mother’s old belongings, he found a letter. It read, “Your son is mentally weak. He is poor in studies. He can no longer come to our school.”
Reading the letter, Edison became deeply moved. He wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was once a mentally weak child, but his mother’s positive perspective and faith made him a genius. Positive words can change the direction of a life.”
In this way, Edison became a great inventor through a positive mindset sown in his mother’s words.
Resolve: I will never speak negatively and become a breaker in someone’s life.
One trusted voice can rewrite a child’s future
