I suppose I'm a bit old fashioned. I have reasonably high standards that confirm my advanced age.
So, I'm very pleased to see that not all young men have footballer style half-shaved heads, earrings, nasal piercings, and are covered in tattoos. Some still dress well, are clean shaven, and would be welcomed into any social circle.
Some know what they want from life at an early age. They have lived to a certain standard, and refuse to leave all that behind.
Take these two above, for example. They are brothers, and have always intended to run a 'successful' business together. They are determined, and ambitious. Both are currently studying 'Business Studies' at college.
I'm sure they'll do well. They are focused, but not ruthless. They both wish for a comfortable future without expecting vast fortunes. They may possibly see some failures, but in the end I know they will succeed.
They always associate with like minded people, and would never be seen hanging around street corners wearing hoodies. If they do have any time on their hands, it is filled constructively.
They are young men who should be proud of themselves. I'm certainly very proud of THEM.
I don't know who they are but am sure they will do well. Unusual place for the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think it was in a London Theatre Lobby.
DeleteThey look very smart but perhaps you could advise them that taking selfies in the gents is open to misinterpretation. It must be a Blogger thing. Another member of Blogland is forever posting pictures of kids in the bath.
ReplyDeleteI think they were OUTSIDE the Gents.
DeleteThey are your oldest grandsons! The fellow on the left could get a job with the "Freemans" catalogue, modelling men's suits. He's got the look and the pose.
ReplyDeleteI shall tell him! 'Suits you Sir'.
DeleteSmart boys.
ReplyDeleteIn more ways than one.
DeleteRestores your faith in the youth of today doesn't it? Well, some of them anyway....
ReplyDeleteIt does for me.
DeleteThey look nicely turned out.
ReplyDeleteBut only when they want to.
DeleteWell done boys! Their parents must be very proud. I firmly believe it is the parents/grandparents that set the foundation for these highly successful outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's right. These boys are lucky to have a very successful and motivated father.
DeleteThey look smart, give a great first impression. Unusual for lads that age.
ReplyDeleteI believe they are both very keen suit wearers.
DeleteThe corner hoodie wearers have no home, no authority figure, no good example set for them, no expectations of themselves nor does anyone else have any expectations for them. They could do well, just way easier not to.
ReplyDeleteIt's always easier to play the fool at school, hang around street corners, and make a bit of cash illegally, but it doesn't get you far.
DeleteLovely
