"I'm not smart" says the guy in his 20s who already figured out what's most important in life.
What good is smart when you have no heart ❤️
He’s smart, but also seems to have some wisdom.
No doubt
He is a very smart young man. I’m sure he meant “book smart” but that will only get so far in this life.
💯 agree
“Im not rich, not famous, not smart either and cant be president but its right to be kind..we can make the world a better place to live.. “ what a humble man you are Sir
Yes, you CAN be the president!

We keep forgetting that there are many kids like this out there. It’s just not what we are shown enough.
That's because in a money driven news media landscape "if it bleeds it leads" is the motto. All that does is make them money and drive us apart, so sad. This country is way more than that.
@@jcsrst Nope. This country is exactly that. If that were the case we would see more balanced news stories, be more cognizant of which advertisers get our money, and make intentional efforts to have our children spend more time in growth activities than with the latest addictive electronic games. We get the media food we gobble up. So much of the news we get is a distracting to influence our thinking and our time.

Always
Ran out of tears already
The way her energy and her countenance changed when she went back to see them is EVERYTHING!!! It's like she found life again. Absolutely beautiful.
He did change the world with his kindness. His kindness made him friends with the lady and he got to show us how to be kind.
The parents did a good job raising those kids!!
Yes they did! Black parents get a bad rap at times but there are many out there who expect their children to prevail over their setbacks and be kind to everyone. I live in an area where there are many Dollar General stores but I drive about a half an hour because of one reason. There's a black woman who has several kids but she manages the store and rarely gets a day off. I'm welcomed everyday she's there with a big smile and a friendly conversation. She does that with everybody and it makes me have a better day. I imagine she treats her children to be kind and to work hard with a smile on their faces.
Amen
AMEN.
WOW!!! They sure did!!! Fantastic
Yes they did!
Three young men raised right. No color barriers, no age difference mattered, just kindness. World needs more of this so much.

I love how one of the men said “we saw an older woman” instead of old woman. Very respectful!
I agree.I wish I could meet the families of these young men.If I had to guess I would say their families wouldn't mind having a meal with her as well.
I think these guys came from military families. There's a certain way they carry themselves that i suspect they learned from their dads.
aasha moushum our elderly!
@notAyoutuber, he’s being racist :/
@@yelezi7950 Did daddy hurt you? Is that why you attention seek in youtube comments? Are you happy now that I gave you the attention you're clearly aching for?
I’ve been a widow for over 5 years my husband and I had 38 years together 3 kids and 12 grandchildren! I don’t see my family as much as I’d like and try not to ask them to do anything which leads me to feeling lonely! I don’t go out to dinner because I’m uncomfortable being alone These young men are sweet and kind and I wish I had someone like them in my life She’s lucky as they are as well
Please, don't feel like a burden to your family and not ask them to do things with you (if the relationship is good). I regret not spending more time with my grandma. She was the same, not wanting to ask for anything but, selfishly, I sometimes wish she did. Most of all, I regret not putting in the effort to see her more, until I was older. I know it isn't easy to ask for things if it makes you feel uncomfortable, so start small. Call each other more often, go over for a coffee or tea or whatever, have dinner together. All those things make it less scary to ask for something else.
Depending on where you live, you might find others nearby in the same situation and you can spend time together. A hobby is also a great way to meet new people, especially with the internet making it easy to find likeminded people (while being careful for those of ill will). You can make new friends at any age. I know it is easier said than done but not impossible. I genuinely hope you find some company and I wish you all the best!
That man is rich with compassion and that’s all he needs 🥰
“...and I’m not very smart, either.”
*Is smarter than most human beings at being a human being*
Benjamin Flagg agreed
Talks about how he cant be a president but these are the kind of presidents we need.
Very well said👍💯😀
👍👍 the problem is that most people think being smart means getting good grades at school !!! But there are soo many other kinds of intelligence that the world needs.
"Think! Before it's too late" is a book by Edward De Bono, in which he focuses a lot on this topic.
Well he needn’t worry. god gave him a very smart heart. even if he’s not book smart at least he’s smart enough to be a decent human being. A lot of people are to ignorant to just be a good person. Not this young man. he’s the type of person I would like to be friends with I believe he could make a difference with this video by inspiring people all over the world:)
"Im not that smart so I cant be president". Think he's over qualified if you ask me.
Yeah trump proved him wrong you def don’t have to be smart to be president you just have to lie to a group of uneducated followers
Yeah biden proved him wrong you def don’t have to be smart to be president you just have to lie to a group of uneducated followers
@@dnn1069 you stole my speech like Melania stole Michelles nice job you’re a dedicated trumpster! Here’s your participation trophy
I don’t know why he had to say that about himself. Especially in a room full of Europeans who already have that preconceived idea of the three of them! Black people need to stop feeling like they have to self deprecate themselves in front of those people, just to make them feel safe. In essence that’s exactly what he was trying to do! He’s probably been profiled a millions times. He’s black, he’s big, and he’s black! That’s enough to get him killed for just walking down the street in some areas. That’s still not enough reason to tell people who consistently want to take advantage of you, how easily duped you can be!
@@dnn1069 Who needs smarts when you have a whole system of white supremacy to back you up? NO president had the assumed intellect of a Rhodes scholar, but they did have the cunning nature of jackals...!
"Our sympathy never solves anything". Words to remember.
The tears just started welling up in my eyes as I watched the video. Those 3 young men just have the biggest hearts. The world is in desperate need of compassion and kindness towards others -- regardless of age, race, color, etc. We can all make a difference one person at a time.
I know! I'm still crying. 😍❤️❤️❤️🙌

He has a big heart, and rich people need to learn that from him. These young men can teach people plenty.

Their facial expressions say it all. With the joy they brought each other is obvious. Truly a blessing for all. Love and kindness knows no bounds
I'm not rich. I'm not famous and I'm not very smart either. No you are a beautiful soul and that is something money fame or education cannot buy.

Fine bunch of young men. Their parents should be proud of them.
And a fine lady! Great story!

Amen
These young men have been well raised. Kindness oozes from them. How sweet to reach across the years and greet "grandma"
Kudos to everyone responsible in raising these young men. That was a very heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing.
Hurts my heart to hear that beautiful young man say he's "not that smart" because he possesses the most important type of intelligence and that's emotional intelligence...in that realm if no other he is a genius!!!
Well said...
I live in Mississippi, and people think we don't get along. But most of my state is full of people just like Ms Baker and these intelligent, empathic young men. May all of them be further blessed.
It’s usually people who ARE smart who think that they are not. It takes incredible intelligence to be able to do something like this, whether he realizes it or not.
Agreed
They are all darling.
Three young men that were raised right. Caring, loving, well mannered, well spoken, nicely dressed. Props to their parents!
Truth. Wish all stories were like this
exactly i see three men who made good choices , and are making their family proud.
I would be so proud if any of these kids were my son. Their parents did an amazing job ❤️
How do you know what their parents are like?
I wanna know there parents
This is how it's supposed to be. These three young men are what America should be about. This is how I was raised. I am so very proud of them. They have filled my heart.
This is the way the world should be not hateful and bitter towards one another. God bless these young men. We're looking out for the little old lady, and she loves them you can tell.
These young men give me hope for the human race in these difficult times.
Me too. Such a hostile world at times. Pray for the day we can all just get along
He who humbles himself will be exalted and he who is exalted will be humble Amen!!💪😇☝️

@@anthonyjohnson-eo4dw great message anthony.. U doing your parents proud
@@anthonyjohnson-eo4dw It is difficult to believe the events which are unfolding right before our eyes. The unthinkable has become our normal everyday experience. So many innocent lives lost, and our government unwilling or unable to stem the tide, idly sitting by, leaving it up to States Governors to rescue us from the terrible mistakes they have made. Even some Governors are making things worse. I don't believe all of this happened accidentally. The leaders of our country have allowed money and greed to cloud their judgement and guide their policies, instead of the constitution and the bests interests of the American people. We have finally reached a reckoning. Hopefully we will all learn from this, and once again become the UNITED states of America, men, women, rich poor, all colors and all races,all religions together living in peace and harmony with respect for the dignity of each other.
The perfect example of “Make America Great Again” should mean.

I completely agree.
@@lorainabaker828
You said it !
Indeed.
An that last line "I'm not smart either" I kind of beg to differ on that one. Perhaps he is not say "book" smart or something IDK. But what I do know & his actions show this as well. That he actually is both smart and ditch but in different ways that he isn't recognizing as being just that. He is the kind of smart that made him on this busy, eventful night out w/palls instead of being oblivious of other things in his environment due to being busy socializing an visiting his smarts is the compleat opposite. His kind automatically make him unable to not notice a strangers situation being one that he could easily and caring improve. An there for it should be done since improvement was possible. His kind of smart isn't from book studies it is from within. It's like a natural shine from within. Perhaps he comes from a large family where whenever they are together (or visiting w/friends over w/their families) everyone naturally just does an accepts the roll of & the responcibilitythat comes w/caring for each other. Like is say a baby is crying its simple you just pick it up. There needs to be no question or dialog you just are so cool an comfortable w/in a family that it would almost be harder to not try an include everyone in the room. An where as its not learned studied book smart it is much deeper than that.
An where he said he is Not Rich, , , , well that is greatly incorrect as well. Sure he don't have bunch of cash in his pockets or gold chains an diamonds rings. He has a type of wealth that can't be bought
w/$$$ or a diamond/gold mine. Again this type of wealth is in the end most desired. For this type of wealth un like $$, gold, diamonds which is only a temporary surface type of thing. Be because like they always say you can't take it with you. But this kind of wealth this kind once you achieve it you can take it with you! You can be walking around in ripped clothes and no shoes yet be the richest person in the room. It's the type of wealth that I think we're supposed to try and have before we leave here. Or while we're here it's kind of wealth it we're supposed to strive for that's what we are supposed to achieve in life. Not shiny pieces of metal or shiny rocks or colored paper with numbers on it. Because if there is a God or if we end up elsewhere or in spirit or mind and have no earthly possessions we are all even on the same playing field except for those who are rich in other ways those ways they still have to share with others and give whereas the rich guy with the money and that's bling that they had worked so hard for gets left behind. So they're left with nothing after having everything. But the kind of wealth that kid has that will stand out big and shiny overflowing. It's much bigger greater of a wealth then wealth of the dollar values. Just saying yes perhaps that kid just may not see it yet but he has more wealth than most people. He is rich in the way he interacts with humans and with life and that is the important kind of rich! And he is naturally very smart again when it comes to people when it comes to really living life and understanding that's smarter than any book ever. Truly he may not need to be concerned with being president the past years have shown anybody to be president. But the type of smart that he is is the type of smart. Very well could perhaps put him in a much bigger more serious position like perhaps one wear it and he could you something bigger like save the world. Just saying
I always think that real change comes from the bottom up. Thanks to these young men!
How lovely, what brilliant young men. Your parents are definitely proud.
Young man, you may not be rich or famous in other people's eyes, but to me, you are very rich and famous in my heart, and YOU ARE VERY WISE AND KIND, plus, like my 5-year-old daughter said, "you are very cute."

Imagine a world that exists when the news only shows stories like this one. That’s the world I want our families to get to enjoy.
Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately we are going to have to search for these videos specifically to see mainly good news. I believe there is more kind acts than negative acts that happen each day on this planet, but kindness doesn’t grab people’s attention the same way a story that shocks or scares them does; so the media, being businesses that seek to garner as much attention possible, will always report more negative stories than positive ones. Doesn’t mean that is always indicative of the world we live in. There are great people out there. Have a good one ✌️
Networks try that about every fifteen years or so. ONLY GOOD NEWS. Never works, there's not enough of it out there... Sad.
Me, too.❤

@Jayce mimi I owned my own business for a long time and took it over from my dad. There was one piece of advice that always stuck with me when it came to hiring employees. Basically there are four types of people.
1. The consciously competent. They’re smart and they know it.
2. The unconsciously competent. They’re smart, but for whatever reason just don’t recognize it.
3. The consciously incompetent. They know they’re dumb.
4. The unconsciously incompetent. They’re dumb, but don’t realize it because they think they’re smart.
#4 is the type of employee that could ruin your business if he or she was hired as a manager.
#3 is harmless and can be a janitor or something.
The kid in the video is a #2. He’s selling himself short. He doesn’t think that he’s smart. Maybe he doesn’t get good grades or whatever, but there are plenty of opportunities out there that don’t require straight A’s.

Yea! It upset me when he said that about himself😥
Damn right!
Na it doesent both are necessary for a good leader
Dude. You don't need to be rich or famous to make a difference in the world. You have something even more valuable. You have a heart.
AMEN! you said it!!!
Touching and Inspirational 😊
I agree. Sometimes, a kind word or gesture is all that one needs.
But not for strangers to try to do harm specially to elderly people
@@GlobalJGlobal no one did harm here. Bless those who are kind
Well done boys, you have hearts of pure gold. My Mum and Daddy used to tell me it's not what you've got it's what you do with what you have and kindness costs absolutely nothing and brings a whole lot of happiness. Norah, Scotland
THANK YOU GENTLEMEN ❤️❤️❤️. You are ALL changing the world by being kind and showing love to your fellow travelers. THANK YOU for your example of kindness. Keep up the good work 😘
When mothers raise MEN- ❤️❤️❤️ what a beautiful story.
Alright alright you got me, fathers too. Chill out. And if you are curious about my dad, he wasn’t absent, always around. He is now in his mid 60s, still married to my mom, and they live about 30 minutes away from me... if it brings you comfort, I can erase my message.
how do you know a they don't have a Father?
@@jeffreyallen4948 thank you
No guys she didn't mean it that way. She was assuming that those young men were raised in single mother households because they're black.. o wait I guess she did mean it that way 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@angelesconsuelos762 Men take cue on how to treat women from their mother, and how their father treats her. It's instinctive.
"Im not that smart"....young man, you have great common sense and a "heart" which means you probably have a very high IQ... dont sell yourself short! Your brilliant
Marty Huggins “you’re”
@@SeanQuinn-rf7rq lmao
U got an lol out of me to. I guess my text messages wud drive u crazy ahy.?
@@SeanQuinn-rf7rq I was about to say the same thing 😂
Absolutely! 🤗
I'm so proud of these fine young men! Good job guys.
Wonderful young men! Their parents did great!
Luckily a Karen didn’t notice and call the cops claiming there was an elderly women being held against her well.
Reports say they only wanted some water.
Will idiot. Your such a downer. You must be a black man who feels inferior, because you feed into want the liberals want you to feel so they can use you for a vote.
@@teresamoscatiello it happens though rather you know it or not
Scary thing is that it could have happened...
Nah, Karens are only self-serving. It's part of what makes a Karen. EDIT: No offense meant to the women who just happen to be named Karen, incidentally.
I put a challenge out to all news.. mainstream or independent.. to find these kind of stories. This is what will heal our nation.
Totally agree!
I would love to see more good news reported. That being said that doesn't mean I want the media to stop sharing media on the bad. This isn't North Korea or China where the media has to pretend nothing is wrong and everything is all sunshine and cotton candy
Zephyrr Sky I don’t think this is what will heal our nation
Yep. Except that is not their agenda. Sadly.
@@mayorbloomburg what do you think will do it then? I personally think positivity and good example are a great place to begin. Not to mention young black men being shown positively.
I love this story. And I’m glad it was shared. And I hate that it’s newsworthy. Seems like something that should be happening everywhere all the time.
He says he's not very smart, he's brilliant. He made one person happy. If we all made one person happy, wouldn't the world be happy?
Absolutely 🤲🤲🤝🤝🙌🙌👌👌🤟🤟
I think we would start overlapping and making the same people happy and logistically I don’t think it would work out there’s a lot small communities spread out between far distances
Womp womp womp.. who peed in your cereal this morning🤣 I'll be praying for u justin. Be blessed 🙏💆♂️
@@justincase4382 The only time that would be true is in a community of one person. Otherwise there's always somebody in your world who you can reach out to.
YES!!!!!
He is exactly the type of guy we need as President. Kind, heartfelt, and decency.
Nathan N2 I agree with you 100%.
Yes!
I absolutely agree as well!
Sad our president is the complete opposite of that 😔
Max Sands u talking about trump? Because he’s the opposite of everything the original comment said
All three are first class acts. Great people who are making a difference in a much positive way. God bless them and their parents.
This beautiful. The guys really deserve recognition for their hearts
He stated: "I'm not very smart" He and his friends are smarter than so many these days. To see young men going out of their way to comfort an elder, of any color, despite differences, is brilliant. Keep shining your heart lights gentlemen!!!
🥀❤️🥀
P.S I'm a mother of three men. I pray they will display this kindness.
Couldn't be president? I'd vote for him! He wants to make the world a better place!! 🤗🥀🥀
💞🦋
When you live with love, an open heart and a concern for others, that’s living & showing by example, THE purpose of life🙏🏽❤️
Beautiful. The world needs more of this.
I'd vote for him. He thinks he's not smart, but he's wrong. He's humble too, though, so he would surround himself with experts in their fields. A humble person will do that. I'd trust him behind the resolute desk any day of the week. We'd be right soon enough.
I imagine, too, that your sons are doing all the things that make you proud. :)
Exactly! Being kind and being loving, especially towards the elderly speaks volumes of your character and in my books, that's smart. God BLESS these young men and their Grandma!
My grandmother would always tell me one day you will get old, so DON'T forget about the old people.
😊🙇🏾♀️
What else your grandma says
@Chili Sauce loll
AAAAAMEN TOO THAT!!!🙏
I went into the Ingles Grocery Store in the next town over, passed an older woman several times, she always smiled, the last time, I told her we need to introduce ourselves; we did, and she spent 30 minutes talking about her life, her husband passing, her children, grandchildren, neighbors, and her loneliness. I hope and pray that I was doing God's Work for a few minutes.
Not rich, not famous, not smart but all of you are extraordinary human beings. Don't ever let anyone tell you anything different.
Fine young gentlemen, great job guys
Um did you just call them dumb? They seem smart to me lady. You could have left out the last offensive part.
Hi
When he said "I'm not very smart," broke my heart 😔 he's wise beyond his years!! What an awesome story, such a powerful reminder to reach out more!
IKR he’s probably been told that by teachers..The dumbest person to graduate with a 1.5 average
was the first one to become a millionaire..That’s the truth class of 70’s.. we had a large class 485 and
That was him...
@@sexylexie Wow! That's awesome!
It just goes to show that everyone learns differently, and he should've been encouraged so much better as he was growing!
People smarts come in the form of a living, breathing lesson - it's harder to learn people than it is to learn from a book, in my humble opinion. These young men have the most beautiful hearts, THAT'S how you reach the world!! That is how it's done!
@@NessaLee23 one does not have to be book smart to make it in this world..You have to be smart
in common sense..Those young men have more love in their hearts and that alone will take them
places education can’t. College is nothing short of testing and studying like a damn fool.
You don’t use much of it unless, you start at the bottom and work your way up..Their personalities
will get them in door that no educational experience will, but have real world experience..If I was still
in HR I would hire them and mentor them like I did for others with no college..
Their parents raised them well. They're respectful and kind....with that they'll go far.
@@Jen.E yes their parents raise some intelligent and caring young men
The world needs more like them. They don’t realize or maybe they do, but it meant a lot
to the Granny eating by herself.. With a heart like they have, they can achieve anything
they want..
I love stories like these! More people should be kind!
The seriousness and immediacy of her response "OF COURSE!!." was very telling
“I can’t be President.” My man, maybe you should be.
I am in agreement. You can be a President given your kindness and above all being a good human.
RIGHT?? What’s he TALKING about 🤷🏻♂️?????
@Supreme Gentleman idk, we had trump and now an old man who prolly doesnt even know where he is half the time.
@@swaymcthunder1219 orange man bad, dementia man bad
Amen to that!
How I met my best friend in high school: he saw me eating alone in the cafeteria and sat with me and told me he hated to see people eating alone.
That's how I became connected to my best friend. She was eating alone because her "friends" decided they were no longer talking to her because of her appearance. They intinidated anyone who would sit with her. So my friend Lori and I sat next to her and dared them to say something. From that point on we had lunch with her until we graduated middle school. She's my best friend decades later.
@@tanyabrown6969 it's intimidated...
@@samwestfahl5355 really? Do people still do this. Do you know what she meant? Take the message and move on. Or move on anyway.
