Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it？ As you learned more and more． it seemed you knew less and less． That is because when you learned a new concept （ 概念）， you found that there was a lot more to know about it．
Usually， people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea． There is nothing wrong with learning a lot， but when you let learning get in the way of doing，you will never get going．
One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions． Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step． You will go further than those who are still in preparation． It's good to be prepared， but over﹣preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results． The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked along the way．
If a baby wants to learn how to walk， it doesn't do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk． The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking． Sure it may fall， but with every fall， it learns what is working and what is not and adjusts（ 153 to it． By doing this over and over， it will finally learn to walk． This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well．It works．
Learning more is great but if all you're doing is learning and not taking action， it's time to
change that， Just take the first step．

I hurried into the store to get Christmas gifts. Suddenly, I saw a little boy holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair. I watched him turn to a woman and say, “Are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She said yes and told the boy not to go anywhere before she came back. Then she left.
The boy continued to hold the doll. I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, “It’s the doll that my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it.” I told him that Santa was going to bring it. He said, “No, Santa can’t go where my sister is. I have to give the doll to my mom to take it to her.”
I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me sadly and said, “She’s gone to heaven. My daddy said that Mom was going to be there with her.” My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy said, “I told my daddy to tell her not to go there until I got back.” He took out some pictures of him and said, “I want my mom to take these with her so she’ll never forget me. I love my mom so much that I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy said that she needed to be with my sister.”
The boy lowered his head. While he was not looking, I reached into my purse and asked him, “Shall we count that money again?” He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just know it has to be enough.” So I put my money with his and we began to count it. He said, “Thank you for giving me enough money.” He continued, “I just asked God to give me enough money to buy this doll, and he heard my prayer.”
Soon the woman came back and I left. I remembered a story I had read in the newspaper several days earlier about a drunk driver who hit a car. A little girl was killed and her mother was in serious condition. Two days later, I read the news that the mother had died.
