13岁手工领结CEO:如果有梦想,那就去追求

Lots of us have dreams of doing big business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridges, a 13-year-old boy in the US, says that we can just start now! 
Bridges is now the CEO of his company Mo's Bows. He has sold about $200,000 worth of handmade bow ties(领结). 
About four years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were only in ugly black and white. 
He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma to teach him how to sew(缝). However, his very first bow tie didn't look nice. 
But the young sewer kept on practicing. He used colorful cloth with different pictures. And his parents and friends started to like his works. He tried to sell them online. Mo's Bows soon became popular. As Bridges' mother said, “You don't have to wait until you're older. If you have a dream, go for it.”
