JUDGING!


JUDGING!



One day a partially deaf lad was given a note form his teacher to give his mother, suggesting that she take him out of school, because he was too stupid to learn. The mother’s reaction was to it, and begins teaching him herself. The boy grew up, and Thomas Edison, for that was his name, left a wealth of inventions that leaves us all deeply in his debt.
He invented the motion picture, the record player and the light bulb. When he died, the US as a nation switched off all electric lights for one minute in his memory, at a time decided on the national level.

Dear friends, how wrong we can be in our judgments about the other person.  Our rash judgments can be totally wrong as the teacher in the above story. We need to learn form Edison and his mother to look at the events form the optimistic point of view. Both never gave up though Edison was seen as a stupid boy in the class. He knew his resources and tapped it well, so we too have got that ability so let’s find out our resources and channel it on the right path.
