To become successful don’t be afraid of failure

---

I was going through a short story named His First Flight by Liam O’ Flaherty. This story tells us that we should always try new new things in our life. We should not get afraid of these but we should happily accept it. If we are unable to do this then we can suffer due to this. This story also tells us that we should always face the problems bravely. Some things look very difficult at first but actually they are very easy.

In that story their was a seagull who lived on the ledge with his father, mother and siblings. But the seagull was afraid of flying because he thought that if he ever tried to do so then he would die because of falling from the ledge. But his elder siblings who had smaller wings as compared to his they also got successful but due to his fear he didn’t tried to fly.

His parents also tried to explain him their is nothing to be worry about but he couldn’t overcome his fear. When he didn’t understood they also upbraided him and said that they will not give him food. From that day his parents didn’t gave him food and he became more and mare hungry. After two days his mother cane with a piece of fish in her mouth and after he saw her he swiftly ran at the edge of the ledge. But her mother stopped when she was at some distabce from the poor seagull. But he was too hungry so he jumped from the ledge. At first he is going to die but in few seconds his wings opened and he at last flew in sky.

This beautiful story tells us that for getting success we must overcome our fear of failure because until and unless we will not overcome our fears then we will never become successful and some has very rightly said

“Time and tide waits for none”.

So before the time leaves us we should leave the fear of becoming unsuccessful to become successful in our life. This can be easily understand by the example of the seagull who first hesitated in flying but when he jumped from the ledge then he understood that it was not as difficult as it was looking at first.

Parents also play very important role in our lives. They always help us to improve the important decisions which are important in our life like the parents of the seagull. They also scold us but after sometime we understand that they do all this for our future and always wish a bright future for their children.

I have learnt a lot of things from this story and I want everyone to learn this important chapter of life that we should not get afraid of anything and always try to overcome our fears. Maybe we can get sometime failure also but failure also teaches us many important things. At last I want to only write on thing that Run behind your dreams but not away from difficulties.
