Moziah Bridges is only 12. He often says he is a clever boy. You’ll think so if you know something about him.

Bridges started making bow ties(領(lǐng)結(jié)) at the age of 9. 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 black and red. He wanted a change. Then he learned to make ties from his grandma. His first bow tie didn’t look nice.

“It’s like something that a clown would wear,” he said. But he kept on practicing. He used colorful cloths with different pictures. “I want to make bow ties that I’ve never seen before,” he told his friends.

After a few months, he succeeded. His family and friends liked his bow ties. Then the boy started selling them to more people. He named his ties “Mo’s Bows”. He has made about $30,000 by selling his bow ties.

Bridges said “I love my bow ties because they stand for(代表) me. You don’t have to wait until you’re older. If you have a dream, go for it.”
