وَفِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَتَّجِهُ إِلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ جِهَازٌ صَغِيرٌ غَيَّرَ وَجْهَ الْعَالَمِ بَعْدَ أَنْ عَانَى الْبَشَرُ مِنَ الْأَدْخِنَةِ الضَّارَّةِ؛ فَهُوَ يُنَقِّي الْجَوَّ مِنَ التَّلَوُّثِ، وَعَادَتِ الطَّبِيعَةُ إِلَى نَقَائِهَا.

Everywhere I turn, there is a small device that changed the world after humans suffered from toxic fumes. It cleans the air of pollution, and nature has regained its purity.

وَالْآنَ أَعُودُ بِكُمْ إِلَى الْوَاقِعِ، لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَشَاهِدَ غَيْرُ مُمْكِنَةٍ؛ فَقَدْ كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَنَا يَزْعُمُونَ أَيْضًا أَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ فِي هَاتِفٍ أَوْ يَرْكَبُوا سَيَّارَةً أَوْ يَطِيرُوا بِطَائِرَةٍ، فَكُلُّ اخْتِرَاعٍ يَبْدَأُ بِفِكْرَةٍ.

Now, let me bring you back to reality. Do not think these scenes are impossible; those before us once claimed it was impossible for people to talk on a phone, ride in a car, or fly in an airplane. Every invention begins with an idea.

وَكُلُّ فِكْرَةٍ تَأْتِي مِنْ خَيَالِ شُجَاعٍ مِثْلَ خَيَالِكُمْ.

Every idea comes from a brave imagination like yours.
