Seth, an ambitious and creative 11-year-old from Utah, has gained widespread attention for his unique business venture. Instead of setting up a typical lemonade stand, Seth decided to take a different approach. With a sign that read “Ice Cool Beer,” he stood near the sidewalk, catching the attention of passersby.
A Wise Business Mind at a Young Age
Seth’s innate sense of entrepreneurship and willingness to take risks have not gone unnoticed. Despite his young age, he embodies the qualities of a true business prodigy. The young entrepreneur’s determination to push himself and express his creativity has paid off, showing that success knows no age if one is willing to work hard and think outside the box.
A Misunderstanding Cleared with Laughter
Initially, Seth’s ‘beer’ stand caused concern among his neighbors, leading them to contact the police. As officers approached Seth’s booth, they soon realized that there was no cause for alarm. Despite the green wording on his sign, Seth was actually selling root beer, not alcoholic beverages.
The Brigham City Police Department was not only impressed by Seth’s marketing plan but also praised his attention to detail and ability to attract customers at such a young age. News of his unique business approach quickly spread online, garnering praise and admiration from people around the world.
A Young Entrepreneur’s Determination
When the police received a report of a suspicious person, they were met by a driven young entrepreneur named Seth. This ambitious child was determined to start his own business and was wise beyond his years. He had an idea he believed people would love, and he worked hard to build a name for himself.
The police department recognized Seth’s potential and provided him with mentorship and free promotion by sharing his story on social media. Many people who learned about Seth commended his entrepreneurial drive, with some even expressing outrage that someone had called the police in the first place.
A Lesson in Compassion and Support
The police department had a different perspective on the situation. They emphasized that residents should never feel ashamed to report something they find concerning. In an act of compassion and gratitude, they even bought Seth some root beer to show their support and appreciation for his efforts.
Seth’s story serves as an inspiration to everyone, proving that age is no barrier to success. With his creativity, determination, and the support of his local community, Seth has paved the way for young entrepreneurs everywhere.
Girl’s letter to her future self, written months before she passed away
What most teenagers dream of is to go to college, travel the world, and have many friends. 12-year-old Taylor Smith, of Johnson City, Tennessee, was no different. This girl spent her days around her family and friends and loved watching a lot of Doctor Who.
Smith outlined these plans in a letter she wrote to her future self in April 2013. The letter was placed inside a box in her room with the instruction “To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 12, 2023 only (unless said otherwise).”
Unfortunately, she didn’t live long enough to see whether those dreams would be accomplished. Just months after she wrote that letter, Taylor died of complications from a sudden onset of pneumonia.
Her parents, Tim and Mary Ellen Smith, were heartbroken. They couldn’t believe their girl was forever gone.
One day, as they were sorting through her possessions, they found the letter. As it touched them deeply, they decided to share it online and give others some solace.
As she shared her daughter’s letter, Marry Ellen wrote: “I can’t physically resurrect her, I can’t bring her back, but
I’m so grateful people have been inspired by her story.”
Below is Taylor’s letter and the words she wrote to herself.
Dear Taylor,
How’s life? Life is pretty simple right now (10 years in your past). I know I’m late for you, but as I’m writing, this is early, so; congratulations on graduating high school! If you didn’t, go back and keep trying. Get that degree! Are you (we) in college? If not, I understand. We do have pretty good reasoning, after all.
Don’t forget, it’s Allana’s 11th birthday today! Sheesh, 11 already? In my time, she just turned 1! I didn’t get to go to that party though, because I was in Cranks, Kentucky for my first mission trip. I’ve only been back for 6 days!
Speaking of, how’s your relationship with GOD? Have you prayed, worshipped, read the bible, or gone to serve the lord recently? If not, get up and do so NOW! I don’t care what point in our life we’re in right now, do it! He was mocked, beaten, tortured, and crucified for you! A sinless man, who never did you or any other person any wrong!
Now, have you gone on any more mission trips? Have you been out of the country yet? How about on a plane?
Is Doctor Who still on the air? If not, what regeneration did they end it with? You should go watch some Doctor Who! Later though, you gotta finish reading your own words of wisdom!
Do you have your own place yet? If we’re in college, what are we majoring in? Right now, I wanna be a lawyer.
Have you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is the Wild Eagle. It’s so fun!
Also I think I’m going to sell my iPad and buy an iPad mini, Don’t forget to tell your kids that we’re older than the tablet! Attached I also have a drawing of an iPad, so you can show them.
Well, I think that’s all. But remember, it’s been 10 years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.
Sincerely, Taylor Smith
Beautiful words from an angel who was taken away from her family too soon!
If you were touched by Taylor’s words as much as we were, please share this story in her memory.
