When we learn any new skill, we come across a set of difficulties. However, it is these difficulties that have to be bridged in order to be successful in learning a new skill.

In the case of the seagull, his parents cajoled him to fly.

In the same way, I was cajoled by my father to learn cycling. Although my success was not guaranteed it was very important to try as it has been very rightly said, “Try try until you succeed.”
