TOO STUPID ?

A partially deaf boy came home from school one day carrying a note from officials at the school.The note suggested that the parents take the boy out of school, claiming that he was " too stupid to learn" .

The boy's mother Nancy Matthews read the note and said, "My son Tom is not too stupid to learn. I will teach him myself." And so she did.

When Tom died on oct 18 1931 , the people of the United States of America paid tribute him by turning of the nation's lights for one minute.

This Tom - THOMAS ALVA EDISON had invented the light bulb - and not only that, but motion pictures and the record player. In all, Thomas Alva Edison had more than one thousand patents to his credit.
