The brilliant Mom of Thomas Alva Edison

One day, Thomas Alva Edison came home and gave his mom a note.

He told her:

-"My teacher gave me this note and told me to only give it to my mother."

His mother's eyes were filled with tears as she read aloud the letter that her son brought her.

"Your son is a genius, this school is too small for him and we do not have good teachers to teach him, please teach him yourself".

Then the mother dedicated herself to teaching Edison. Many years later, Edison's mother passed away, and he became one of the greatest inventors of the century.

One day he was looking at some old family things.

Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the frame of a drawing on the desk.

He took it and opened it.

The paper read:

"Your son is mentally ill and we cannot allow him to come to school anymore."

Edison cried for hours, then he wrote in his diary: "Thomas Alva Edison was a mentally ill child, but because of a heroic mother, he became the genius of the century."

What an impressive reaction from the mom, right?

Instead of reading what the letter actually said, and having been able to make her son feel less, she completely turned it around and injected confidence and certainty into her son.

She made him believe he was a genius and he believed it so much that he grew up and died being one.

The power that parents have over their children is amazing.
