A touching story about boosting self-esteem
A child came home from school and gave his mother a small note from the teacher. As soon as the mother opened it, her eyes filled with tears. She said to her son: “They say you are a genius child, and that this school cannot accommodate such intelligence, and they do not have qualified teachers to teach you. So I will teach you myself at home.”
So he started selling newspapers at the train station to help his mother. After several years, his mother passed away, and this boy became one of the greatest inventors in the world.
He went to his mother’s cupboard and found a letter from the teacher in which it was written: “Your son is mentally weak and we will not allow him to continue his education at this school.”
This person is Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb.
His mother transformed him from “weak-minded” into a genius. Her positive words changed the course of his life.
