MOZIAH Bridges is only 11. He often says he is a “young and clever man”. You’ll think so if you know something about him.
Bridges started making bow ties (领结) at 9 years old. He now sells them around the US both in stores and online.
Two years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were all in “ugly” (丑的) black and red. He wanted a change. He learned to make ties from his grandma. His very first bow tie didn’t look nice. “It’s like something that a clown (小丑) would wear,” he said. But he kept on practicing (练习). He used (使用) colorful cloths with different pictures. “I want to make bow ties that I’ve never seen before,” he told The Huffington Post.
After a few months, he succeeded (成功). His family and friends liked his ties. Then the boy started selling them to more people. He named his ties Mo’s Bows. He has made about $30,000 (183,000 yuan). In his own words, Bridges says his business is “so important because it’s me. I’m starting young and that’s all that matters. And I’m handsome.”
“You don’t have to wait until you’re older. If you have a dream, go for it,” said Bridges’ mother.
