A 14-year-old and a 2-year-old keep trying to open a coconut after five other children give up. The speaker uses this to argue that success requires perseverance when others quit, and that you can't expect everyone to stay with you through hard things.
And it's funny because if you look at the pictures, they were all together, there were 7 of them all together, they found the coconuts, they were super excited about it, got home, "Look what we found, we're gonna try to open 'em," right? And has anybody ever tried to open a coconut without the correct tools? It's very difficult, but I didn't say anything, I said, "Yeah, go for it, you know, see what you can do." And so as they started off, they were all doing it together, they were excited, every time I looked up, there was 1 kid missing. One more had dropped off. They were dropping them off balconies, trying to cut them open, trying to do all this stuff. And then at the end there, you can see our oldest, he's 14, and then our youngest, 2, were the last 2 standing people. And I looked over, they got screwdrivers, they got knives, they have like these metal pipes they were banging them with. And it's funny because at the end, the oldest one was the last one standing. All right, not everybody's gonna support you guys when you start this, and that's okay. They don't need to, right?
