Mother's love is like a beacon, illuminating the path of children's life; A mother's love is like a harbor, soothing the tired hearts of her children; Mother's love is like wings, helping children fly in the sky of dreams.
Mother's love is like Beidou, pointing out the direction for her children; Mother's love is like an oasis, bringing hope to her children; A mother's love is like a beacon, illuminating the way forward for her children.
Mother's Day is approaching, and today I would like to share two stories about mothers.
Story one
A student, when he came home after school, solemnly handed a letter to his mother and said, "The teacher only shows my mother!" When the mother opened the letter, she looked at it and burst into tears. Seeing this, the child asked in confusion, "Mom, what did the teacher say?" The mother wiped her tears, choked up, and said, "The teacher said, madam, your child is a genius, this school is too small, no one can teach him, please be smart." When the child heard this, he was very happy. A loving mother preserves a child's face with a white lie, showing love and respect for the child.
The mother tried her best to find a new school for her child and encouraged him to study hard. Years later, the child grew up and, as his mother said, invented the phonograph, the movie camera, the electric light, and so on, and he made more than 2,000 inventions and had more than 1,000 patents in his lifetime. He has made great contributions to the progress of human society, so he was named ninth in the "100 People Who Influenced America" in the authoritative American journal "Atlantic Monthly". He is the world-famous Thomas. Alva. Edison.
After his mother's death, Edison found the letter while sorting through his mother's belongings, and the familiar envelope sparked his curiosity, and he carefully opened the envelope, unfolded the letterhead, and saw that it read: Your child has an intellectual disability and cannot stay in school, but can only drop out. Seeing this, Edison burst into tears, couldn't cry, and wrote down: "Edison was an intellectually disabled child, but his mother turned him into a genius."
The greatness of the parents is incomparable, especially when it comes to educating their children, and the mother is the first life coach.
Story two
One day, a black taxi driver was carrying a white mother and son, and when the child saw that the driver's face was dark and very different from his own, he asked his mother in great confusion: "Why does Mr. Driver's skin be different from ours?" The mother replied with a pleasant face: "Heaven has created people of different colors in order to make the world colorful." ”
When they arrived at their destination, the black driver resolutely refused to charge the fare, and said to the child's mother with gratitude: "I asked my mother the same question when I was a child, but my mother said that we are black and destined to be inferior, and if she had answered with you, I might be a different person today." ”
A word can make a person, and a word can destroy a person. The greatness of a mother lies not only in birth, but also in nurturing. Shaking the hand of the cradle can also shake the future of the child, and even affect the whole world, this is the mother!
