The picture has been used in adverts and memes as it seamlessly describes that indescribable feeling of success, pride, joy and confidence all meshed together in one.
This is what success kid now looks like, are you surprised at how old he is? We were.
Exactly 10 years later and still the best Success Kid ever! #HappySuccessKidDay pic.twitter.com/q1UTxmO0fe
