One day after school, the little boy skipped home, gave his mother a letter in earnest, and seriously said to his mother, "The teacher only lets her read it! "The little boy's mother took the letter in doubt, opened it, looked at it and burst into tears. The little boy was puzzled and asked, "Mom, what did the teacher say? "Mom wiped her tears and choked up and said," The teacher said, Madam, your child is a genius. This school is too small for anyone to teach him. Please be smart. "After hearing this, the child was extremely happy.
After many years, the little boy grew up. As his mother said, he was a genius. He invented the phonograph, movie camera, electric light and so on. There were more than 2, inventions and more than 1, patents in his life. He has made great contributions to the society, and also won the ninth place in the "1 people who influenced America" selected by the authoritative American journal Atlantic Moon. He is the world-famous Thomas Alva Edison.
After his mother died, Edison came across this letter while sorting out his mother's belongings. The familiar envelope aroused his curiosity. He carefully opened the envelope and unfolded the stationery, only to see that it said: Your child has mental retardation, so he can't stay in school, so he can only drop out. Seeing this, Edison burst into tears, sobbing and writing: Edison was a child with mental retardation, but his mother turned him into a genius.
A loving mother saved a child's self-esteem with a white lie, and made him have love, faith and dignity.
