"تُدان الفكرة الجديدة أولاً باعتبارها سخيفة ثم تُرفض باعتبارها تافهة حتى تصبح في النهاية شيئاً يعرفه الجميع."
— William James
Simplified Meaning:
When someone comes up with a new idea, people often make fun of it because it seems strange or silly at first. Then, after a while, they might think the idea is not important. But as time goes on, everyone starts to understand and accept the idea, and it becomes common knowledge that everyone knows about. For example, think about the invention of the airplane. When the Wright brothers talked about flying, many people laughed and thought it was impossible and ridiculous. Then, people might have thought it was just a small, unimportant thing. However, now, flying is normal, and everyone knows that airplanes are a convenient way to travel. This tells us that new ideas need time to be understood and accepted. If you have a new idea, don't be discouraged if people don't get it right away. Eventually, with time and persistence, others might recognize its value. Keep believing in your ideas, even if others don’t see their worth immediately.
