This is a story about Thomas Edison, a world-renowned inventor, during his childhood. Edison was a bit strange, even to the point of being considered odd by others. When his teacher asked, "What is one plus one?", most children answered "two," but Edison answered "one." One day, his teacher called Edison's mother and said, "It seems like Edison won't benefit much from any further schooling. I think it would be better for him to be educated at home." Despite the teacher's unexpected words, Edison's mother didn't lose heart and began to look for her son's unique strengths. She was confident that her son had a special talent. After Edison could no longer attend school, his mother, drawing on her experience as a teacher, decided to teach him at home. In the process, she discovered Edison's strength in focusing on one thing at a time. She saw his amazing concentration, passion, and perseverance. She nurtured those strengths and raised him to become the inventor Thomas Edison. Praise children who are planting the seeds of possibility for their dreams. Even if a child seems to lag behind others, look for the strengths they possess, believe in them, and wait patiently. Children are our hope.
