Yes, it is true that fear and confidence stop one from learning new things as in the story,the young seagull lacked the courage and confidence. He was too scared of flying. His family tried hard to make him fly but he refusee to do so because of his fear of sinking in the seawater .They tried to tempt him with food but he was not willing to learn flying .once he dived ,his fear disappeared and he enjoyed his first flight.
It is a fact that unless we try for something and overcome our fear, we can't learn anything new. Confidence and motivation are the most important traits that make any learning possible
