This is a story about the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison.

One day he came  home early from school. Teacher gave a letter to him for his mother.  Thomas gave the letter to his mother. 

Thomas’s mother read the letter ''your son is intelligent. In our school, there are not enough good teachers to teach him. So please teach your child yourself''.

After many years later the boy became an inventor of  modern light bulb, motion picture, electric grid, etc

 

He was looking at his old things. And found a folded paper in his room. He read ''your son is mentally ill and we don’t want him to come to school anymore''. He was crying for hours.

After that, he wrote in his diary... 

“I have not failed I have found 10,000 ways that not work”
