fig. 1 — the point النقطة

Every idea starts as a point.

كل فكرة تبدأ بنقطة.

This one is yours.

وهذه نقطتك.

fig. 2 — a hundred versions مئة نسخة

Share an idea, and it turns into a hundred versions of itself.

شارك فكرة، وستولد منها مئة نسخة.

fig. 3 — the center المركز

My first job is finding its center.

مهمتي الأولى أن أجد مركز ثقلها.

Not the loudest part. The heaviest.

ليس الأعلى صوتًا، بل الأثقل.

fig. 4 — gathering التجمّع

Then people gather around it.

ثم يلتفّ الناس حولها.

fig. 5 — alignment التناغم

Everyone moves at their own speed.

لكلٍّ سرعته.

That's fine, as long as they share a center.

ولا بأس، ما دام المركز واحدًا.

fig. 6 — the window النافذة

Some days everything lines up.

في بعض الأيام يصطفّ كل شيء.

Those are the days you launch.

وتلك أيام الإطلاق.

fig. 7 — gravity assist دفعة الجاذبية

Borrow a little pull from everyone,

استمدّ من كلٍّ شيئًا من جاذبيته،

and it goes further than any of us could alone.

لتمضي الفكرة أبعد مما يستطيع أيّ منا بمفرده.

fig. 8 — theirs لهم

Then it isn't ours anymore. It's theirs.

ثم لا تعود لنا، بل تصبح لهم.

fig. 9 — the storm العاصفة

Something always breaks at 2 a.m. Like now.

دائمًا ما يتعطّل شيء في الثانية فجرًا. مثل الآن.

The job is that nobody notices.

والمهمة ألّا يلاحظ أحد.

Sometimes it's even beautiful.

وأحيانًا يكون ذلك جميلًا أيضًا.

fig. 10 — the flock السرب

At first, they follow you.

في البداية، يتبعونك.

Then they don't need to.

ثم لا يحتاجون إلى ذلك.

fig. 11 — again من جديد

Then you do it again.

ثم تعيدها من جديد.

Fifty-something times so far.

أكثر من خمسين مرة حتى الآن.

fig. 12 — the sky السماء

You never see gravity.

الجاذبية لا تُرى.

Only what it holds together.

وإنما نرى ما تجمعه.
