"الناس دائمًا يخافون من التغيير. الناس خافوا من الكهرباء عندما اُخترعت، أليس كذلك؟ الناس خافوا من الفحم، خافوا من محركات الغاز... سيكون هناك دائمًا جهل، والجهل يؤدي إلى الخوف. لكن مع مرور الوقت، سيأتي الناس لقبول جهلهم."

Bill Gates

Simplified Meaning:

When something new comes along, people often feel scared because it's unfamiliar. This has happened throughout history. For example, when electricity was first introduced, many people were afraid of it, thinking it was dangerous. The same thing happened with coal and gas engines; people didn't trust them at first. Ignorance, or not knowing much about something, often leads to this fear. However, as time goes by and people learn more about these new things, they usually start to see that their fears were exaggerated. So, if you’re feeling scared of something new—like a new job, technology, or moving to a new place—remember that it's natural to feel this way. Over time, as you get more familiar with the situation, you'll likely find that it's not as frightening as you first thought.
