We propose a method of obtaining peakon solution from bell-shape smooth soliton (or solitary wave) solution, i. e. constructing directly an ansatz solution of peakon according to the well-known bell-shape smooth soliton solution and then determining the coefficients in ansatz solution. The method is verified to be feasible for four nonlinear wave equations and one set of equations. The bell-shape smooth soliton (or solitary wave) solution and peakon solution can exist in the same expression and the expressions of peakon solutions include those of the bell-shape smooth soliton solutions and the latter are the special cases of the former.
