He overcame this traits through confidence and motivation..

Explanation:

"His First Flight" is a short story written by Liam O’Flaherty. The story is about a young seagull who was fearful to fly. He lacked confidence and feared that he might get drown.

The story gives a practical message that 'fear and lack of confidence can keep oneself from trying and learning new things.'

The young seagull was fearful and lacked confidence to fly, so much that even when his family encouraged him to do so, he did not move. His family even scolded him for his cowardice. But even this scolding did not moved him.

The young seagull was able to overcome his fear and lack of confidence when he faced his fears. When, one day he felt hungry, and his mother coaxed him, he faced his fears, as in his anger he took the leap and flew over the seawaters. He also dipped his feets in the sea and catched the food for himself. He was able to overcome his short comings by having confidence and motivation.
