how can i concentrate to my goal and my future ?

Focus on one thing at a time. It can be hard for me to do the same. But I ask God for wisdom and pick the most important goal that really needs focus

How can improve my speaking skill

By speaking. Constantly. Don't worry about mistakes, just speak.

how can i know how to walk?

Start with the first thought - _I can do this._ Go onto the first expression - _Hey [supporter (mom/ dad/ grandma/ grandpa/ sibling/ friend)'s name], I am going to try to walk. Now._ Try to stand first, with help, then leaning on something, and then alone. Then go to the first fall - nobody learns how to do something on the first try. Then go on to the second fall. Then the third. Keep going. At some point, you'll get the first step. Hold it. Enjoy it. Hopefully you'll never have a first step again. Then the next step. Then the next. Then the next. Then the next. Keep going till you feel tired. Sit down. Try again after a while. Try again later. Try again tomorrow. Try again after that. Keep going. And soon, you'll win a race.

Happy learning and God bless!
