【他是天才還是傻瓜？！】

{ 或許不要動不動就指責他人，要試着看到他們的好。}

很多網友在看完這則故事之後，都留言表示母親真的很偉大，感謝她們在孩子成長背后的默默付出與支持。

究竟他是天才還是傻瓜？他媽媽是這麼詮釋的：

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.”

有一天， 托馬斯‧愛迪生回家後，遞了一張紙給媽媽並說：「這是老師給我的，他說只可以給你。」

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.

然後，他的母親眼睛泛淚地大聲讀出信中內容：「你的兒子是一個【天才】。這所細小的學校無法提供足夠的優秀老師培育他，要麻煩你自己教導了。」

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.

很多很多年過後，愛迪生的母親過生了，而他亦成為了本世紀最偉大的發明家之一。有一天他翻閱家中的舊物件，他突然看到桌子的抽屜角落有一疊紙，他便拿出來看看。在紙中寫道：「你的兒子是個怪癖 (精神病患者)，我們不會再讓他上學。」

 
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.”

愛迪生哭了數小時後，便在日記中寫道：「托馬斯•阿爾瓦•愛迪生是一個怪僻的孩子，通過像英雄般的母親教導，成為了本世紀的天才。」
