So far, there have been so many successful men and women in the world. And it's no surprise for many of us to dream of doing big business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridges tells us a quiet different story.
Moziah Bridges is now the CEO of his Mo's Bow's Company. He has already earned $200, 000 by selling bow ties and other men's fashion accessories(饰品). The boy designs all the bow ties together with seven other workers in his company, including his mother and grandmother.
"Mo is the CEO of the company, but I am the CEO of Mo," Bridges' grandma said.
About four years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were in "ugly" black and red. He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma to teach him to sew(缝)，and finally he developed the talent of creating bow ties. Though his very first bow tie didn't look nice, the young sewer kept on practising. He used colourful cloth with different pictures. And his parents and friends started to like his works.
At first he tried to sell them online to several stores in the south. Soon Mo's bow ties became popular. With the help of Daymond John, CEO of the famous US clothes brand FUBU, Bridges built his own company. Not only did Daymond John provide money for him, but also introduced Bridges to the circle of fashion and business industries.
Now the 13-year-old's business has developed rapidly. So you can just start now! You don't have to wait till you're older. If you have a dream, go for it!

"Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school," researchers say.
So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4, 500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story" helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.
German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result is that the people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
