"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
Three young men raised right. No color barriers, no age difference mattered, just kindness. World needs more of this so much.
Agreed. People aren’t very helpful towards one another anymore.

@@dig2784 Older people almost always call younger ones “boy or girl”. I understand your comment, but it is sometimes used as a term of affection too.
Im 66. Someone in their twenties or below are boys and girls. It’s not meant to be derogatory just that I have grandkids that age.
Amen! He’s a light in this world. Beautiful young man and indeed a great smile. ❤
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!
“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

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.

@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!
"Our sympathy never solves anything". Words to remember.
Okay this guy said he’s not “ smart “ but he sure is WISE ❤️

He also said he couldn't be President. Are you kidding me! Compared to the guy in the White House now?

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.

WHY did you feel this need, this desire to go and spoilt a perfectly good comment, by adding that stoopid,silly word right at the end? Grrrrrr
@@1wannabee1 what word?
He has a big heart, and rich people need to learn that from him. These young men can teach people plenty.
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.
This is so beautiful and amazing these black brothers have shown their true colors! 👍 that's love!
I'm retired from teaching and I miss being surrounded by young people. This is such a heart warming story.
"Im not that smart so I cant be president". Think he's over qualified if you ask me.

@@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...!

And he’s everything he says he’s not. 🙏🏾
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'm not that smart" "We can show the world its ok to be kind" One of the smartest things I've heard!
Indeed
A bit of kindness goes a long way

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.

@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.

@@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.

They looked like hooligans with their hats on backwards and such. I got a little nervous walking up to them when one of them spotted me, got up and held the door open for me. I thought ‘hmm, these kids will be fine.’” I don’t know who you are, but thank you to whoever opened that door a couple years back. You don’t realize what a big deal that was.
nice story :)
This video and some of these comments are making me cry.
Dont people in the states do that for old people??
@@ajoaayebo6752 Everyone does that for everyone...
@@kpat2779 not true man, dutch people are really nice people but it's just not part of their culture to do things like hold a door open for the person behind them, British is standard you hold a door and despite it being a modern age you especially do it for a woman or the elderly, something done without thought.
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!
Those young men were raised right! ♥️ Priceless!!
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 😘
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
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
OMGoodness that made me cry. What beautiful human's you are. So many awful people in the our world right now and you three are a wonderful example of what it should be like. Thank you for being so loving and caring. 😍
3 good young men who are role models in society. I love it and the world needs more men like these guys.
"I'm not rich or famous or smart.. But I can be KIND" BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
Very humble of him
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!!!🙏
This needs to be showed everywhere more often as a reminder what humans are capable of and how we all should be acting especially in this negative world today.
He made me smile and guess what young man, you are smart!!! You're also very kind and have a sweet soul. I loved this story
If this can happen in ALABAMA...it can happen anywhere. Be kind, folks. You never know what your angel may look like.
Shane C,so true,so true!
Rightfully true my friend. God bless!!!!
Shane C you need to stop judging Alabama negativity! I moved here from central Florida and I have been delighted by how nice, friendly and polite people are here.
As a Southerner, I've seen more blatant racism in upstate New York than I ever saw in Arkansas.
Amen
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..
❤ You never know how important kindness is until you see how it can make a person's day. Please be especially kind to widows and the elderly.
Beautiful story, no division, no separation, just love and kindness.
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.
Young man you say you are not smart. But you've got loads of wisdom.. that's brillance in my book😗
I agree 💯
I agree as well 🙂
Simple little things mean so much more to those that need them. Deeds well spent. In my book, these men's actions show that they are in fact rich, smart and presidential.
I'm so proud of these fine young men! Good job guys.
These young men gave that old lady the one thing she missed the most and that was the presence of another person who cares and who she can talk to. Yep, it is very sad to see so many old timers being alone everyday and have no one that can spread some love to them. 😢
I am 70 yrs. old and feel alone often. You guys made me cry.. I only wish I could run into fine young men like you.
