Inspirational story: find your own coconut

Born in a poor home, I was immersed in extreme inferiority from a deep heart. After graduating from college, because of repeated failures in job hunting, he simply stayed at home and became addicted to computer games all day long.

Once, he was visited by his friend Ankara to visit a "grassroots" talent show. To his surprise, the members who came to the competition had different ages and occupations. Everyone was bold on the stage and performed their own specialties. An 8-year-old boy, with his fingers on the pizza dough, quickly began to turn. From time to time, he put the dough behind his head, using his hands to rotate with each other, the skillful crepe cake technique, and the relaxed and confident smile, won the audience's warm applause. A short-skinned girl sang the theme song of the movie "Titani". Although her voice is not beautiful, the spirit of courage to challenge herself has touched many people. A man who lost his legs in a car accident, lived a flying needle to go to the money, and in just 5 minutes, he sewed a piece of cloth into a beautiful dress. It turned out that he came out of despair and chose tailoring as a career...

Just when he was fascinated, it seemed that Anke, who had nothing to do, was on the stage. In public, he played a bubble. When he blew out more than fifty beautiful bubbles in one breath, the whole stage was full of dreams. Breath. "Now, you are going to play." Anker said to him with a smile.

"I can't!" He hurriedly shook his head and refused. Anker does not care: "From today on, delete the word 'no" from your life dictionary!" said Anke, pushing him hard and then saying loudly: "Warmly welcome us. New friend!" Unprepared, in a hurry, pick up a coconut on the side of the stage, put it high on the top of his head, and then signal to Anke: "Remember the game of childhood? Hands! Anke smiled and found a wooden stick and slammed it at the coconut.

"Oh," the coconut was shattered, but he stood still and stood still. The audience was shocked by his "iron head work" and they stood up and applauded. Standing in the middle of the stage, he was surrounded by long-lost encouragement, tears in his eyes.

When the show returned, he seemed to have changed someone, began to try the work he refused to do, sent the courier, sold flowers, and became the manager of a real estate company in just two years. Just when his parents were proud of him, he made another amazing move: resigning home and re-doing the otaku. It's just different from the past. This time, he is no longer addicted to the game, but to realize his childhood dreams - to be a writer.

In order to realize his dream, he turned off his mobile phone and declined all entertainment. Rest only four hours a day, all the rest of the time for reading and writing. In August 2019, after a year, he finally completed a 200,000-word inspirational novel called "The Dream of Being Changed by Coconut." Soon after the publication of this book, it attracted a lot of attention from readers. People were impressed by his simple and warm writing. In the next half year, this book has been ranked first in the best-selling list and reprinted three times. Not a small "storm".

He is a young writer from France, Jean Nore. In the preface of the book, he described his psychological process with such a passage: "The participation in the talent show made me suddenly understand that even if there is nothing, I can rely on one. The coconut won the applause. In fact, life has never been desperate, and everyone can find their own 'coconut'."
