His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability. Beethoven39。s music teacher said about him, As a poser (作曲家) he is hopeless. What if this young boy had believed it? When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class ... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person. What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him? When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, I have an idiot (白癡) for a son. His uncle agreed. He39。s uneducable, he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability? Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no good ideas. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, You can39。t sing. You have no voice at all. And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal. What if these people had listened and bee discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, It39。s not what you are but what you don39。t bee that hurts. You have great potential.
