One day Thomas Alva Edison came to the home with a piece of paper
in his hand. He handed over it to his mother telling that “My teacher gave this
paper and told me to give it to you without opening it.” Edison’s mother was in
tears when she opened the paper. She read it loudly so that Edison can hear it.
“Your son is a genius and this school is too small for a kid like Edison. So it
is better you to teach rather than sending him to school.”
Years passed away and one day Edison’s mother died. While Edison
cleaning the whole house after cremation, he found one folded paper in the
corner of a desk. When he opened it, he saw these words, “Your son is mentally
ill. We won’t let him come to school anymore.”
By seeing the paper and remembering his mother’s words on that day,
he cried for hours and then he wrote in his dairy “Thomas Alva Edison was a
mentally ill child, trained by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.”
