A MOTHER'S COURAGE (THOMAS EDISON)
One day Thomas Edison came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.”
His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her
child: Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and
doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him
yourself.
After many, many years, after Edison’s mother died and he was now one
of the greatest inventors of the century, one day he was looking
through old family things. Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the corner
of a drawer in a desk. He took it and opened it up.
On the paper was written: Your son is addled [mentally ill]. We won’t let him come to school any more.
Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva
Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of
the century.”
Never Give up. Be confident.
Remember – (be it life, sports, career or any competition) – any battle
is won twice – FIRST IN YOUR HEAD…….
