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 up 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(调整) 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.

Usually, when we talk about reading, we think of using our eyes to see letters written in ink on paper. However, this is not always true. For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books.
The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille. Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris. In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters. Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds. Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it.
In 1821, a soldier(士兵)visited the school and showed the students a system (系统)for passing messages at night. His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers. Each letter of the alphabet was symbolized by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots. The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message.
While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter. “Braille”, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born.
The blind can easily recognize(辨别)Braille with their fingers. They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter. Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version(版本)of Braille for its people to use.

①Memorizing class notes is a good way to learn English. But what is the easiest way for you to memorize class notes The question is difficult to answer,because different people think in different ways and there are really too many ways. It also has something to do with the material(材料)to be memorized.
I have used a very good way to memorize class notes before. I typed the whole term's handwritten notes into a computer. ②虽然这需要很多时间,但它是一个好方法。 It made me think about the material again, just as if I were taking notes in class. This way of memorizing class notes could also make me feel relaxed, because it was an easy way. I just needed to start from the beginning of my notes and type to the end.
There are many other good ways to memorize class notes. For example, you can make a lot of colored marks on the important parts of your notes. When you review the notes, you will pay more attention to these parts. You can also make an outline of your notes, and then you will have a better understanding of each lesson.
