I heard it on a radio show.
In a small village in Anatolia, a child's eyes begin to fail to see as a result of a febrile illness.
The father realizes one day that the other children are no longer playing with his son;
buys an instrument for his son; The child spends a lot of time with him.
After a while, something really starts to play.
One day, a man from the nearby village begins to teach the boy, thinking that he is talented.
Develops a child's ability a lot.
It is very intelligent, creative and ready-made.
In fact, one day, when his saz is broken abroad, he wants to buy saz from a friend; his friend says "one hundred and fifty liras" to the price.
The poor man has only fifty liras in his pocket, he says, "Take this fifty, I'll spit in your face."
The joke is so pleasing that the seller; does not take the remaining hundred lira.
That blind boy's name is Veysel.
Are you aware? What you have to do as a parent is to give that instrument to the child's hand.
Let him do the rest, you let him discover his talent and give him fighting strength, leave the rest to him.
An administrator raised a hand when I described this incident at one of my seminars:
"Teacher
