Question

Unless one takes the plunge, one cannot achieve”. How does this saying stand true in context of both the stories of the young seagull and the pilot of the old Dakota?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The young seagull was afraid to fly because it was his first flight and he feared of falling and hurting himself. He thought that his wings would not support him while flying. Yes, it is natural that doing something for the first time is a bit challenging and fearful. All birds must be afraid to make their first flight.

Similarly, a human baby is also afraid of taking the first step and find it challenging when he learns to crawl or stand up without support.’
