there have been many mothers whose efforts have contributed to the progress of great men.Great personalities of the world owe their success mainly to the mothers
who have duly performed their serious duties and played their
fundamental role in building up their children.
Edison and his Mother.
Edison not only failed to show any talent in childhood, but also
seemed to be quite stupid since he had an excessively large head. His
relatives and acquaintances thought him to be suffering from mental
aberration. The strange questions he asked them from time to time, too,
confirmed this supposition of theirs. Even at school, which he did not
attend for more than three months, he was nicknamed 'stupid' owing to
his repeated questions to the teacher.
So, one day he returned home in tears and narrated the matter to his
mother. She took his hand and they returned to the school. Addressing
the teacher, she said: "You don't know what you say. My son is more
intelligent than you. The trouble lies in this same fact. Now I will
take him back home and undertake his education myself, and will show you
what talent is hidden in him!" Such was the strange prediction of that
mother! Thenceforth she did as she had promised, and undertook his
education.
A friend of Edison's family writes in this connection: "Sometimes
while passing by Edison's house I noticed Mrs. Edison and her son
sitting in the vestibule, while she was engaged in teaching him”.
This place served as a classroom, and he was the only pupil there.
His gestures and movements were like his mother's, and he loved her very
much. When she spoke, he listened attentively, as if she was an ocean
of knowledge.
As a result of his mother's efforts, Edison managed, even before the
age of nine, to read the masterly works of such writers as Gibbon, Hume,
Plato, and Homer. This wise and intelligent mother also taught him
geography, history, arithmetic and ethics. Edison attended school only
for three months, and all he had learnt during childhood was through his
mother. She was a true teacher in every sense of the word, since her
care was not only for his education, but also to discover his natural
talents and develop them. In later years, when Edison rose to the height
of fame, he said: "In childhood, l realized what a fine figure a mother
is.
When the teacher called me 'stupid', she defended me. I determined
seriously to prove that she was not mistaken about me." He also said: "I
shall never lose the effects of my mother's education. If she had not
encouraged me, I may not have become an inventor. In my mother's
opinion, if those who went wrong after attaining adolescence had been
educated and taken care of sufficiently, they would not have become
useless parasites in society.
Sheikh Murtadha Ansaris Mother
The late Haj Sheikh Murtadha Ansari, wept bitterly at the death of
his mother, knelt by her corpse and shed tears of sorrow. One of his
learned pupils said in consolation and sympathy: "It is not fitting that
you, with such a high scholarly position, should act so restlessly and
shed tears on an old woman's death."
That great man raised his head and said: "It seems that you are still
unaware of the lofty position of a mother. I owe my position to the
proper education given to me by this mother and to her hard work. It was
she who laid the foundation of my progress and led me to my present
position as a scholar.
