From Software Engineer to Visionary Innovator: Niamh's Bold Leap
Niamh stánadh amach fhuinneog mhór na hoifige, an ghrian samhraidh ag soilsiú ar aghaidh.
Niamh stared out the large office window, the summer sun illuminating her face.
Bhí an atmaisféar athghníomhach.
The atmosphere was electrifying.
D’aithin sí an meascán de dhíograis agus imní ina croí féin.
She recognized a mixture of excitement and anxiety within her own heart.
Bhí sí díreach tar éis a post cobhsaí a fhágáil san innealtóireacht bogearraí.
She had just left her stable job in software engineering.
Seo í, i gclinic gnó i mBaile Átha Cliath, ar tí a aisling a fhíorú.
Here she was, in a business incubator in Dublin, about to realize her dream.
Bhí an seomra lán le fiontraithe eile.
The room was full of other entrepreneurs.
Bhí siad ag obair go dian ar a gcuid ríomhairí glúine, ag déanamh briseadh smaointe ar bhilteacha bán.
They were working intensely on their laptops, brainstorming on whiteboards.
Bhí comrádaíocht ann ach freisin iomaíocht.
There was camaraderie but also competition.
Tarraingíodh aird ar gach cúinne.
Every corner drew attention.
Bhí Niamh ag ullmhú chun a smaoineamh nuálach teicneolaíochta a chur chun cinn do chistí na hinfheisteoirí.
Niamh was preparing to pitch her innovative technology idea to investors.
Tríd an lucht féachana, chonaic sí an taispeántas a bhí le haghaidh a chur i láthair.
Across the audience, she saw the stage set for her presentation.
Cliceáil sí ar na sleamhnáin dheireanacha ar a ríomhaire.
She clicked through the final slides on her computer.
"Is í seo an t-am," a dúirt sí léi féin, ag mothú an brú ag méadú.
“This is the moment,” she told herself, feeling the pressure build.
Bhí sí idir dhá chomhairle.
She was torn.
An roghnódh sí gnáthpháipéar a sheachadadh?
Should she deliver a conventional presentation?
Nó an n-úsáidfeadh sí cur i láthair níos dána agus rioscaí?
Or should she use a bolder and riskier approach?
Bhraith sé go raibh gá le rud éigin speisialta chun an airgead sin a fháil.
It felt like something special was needed to secure that funding.
Bhí sí cinnte go raibh a fís láidir, ach bhí amhras fos ann.
She was certain her vision was strong, but doubts still lingered.
Nuair a tháinig a ham le labhairt, seas sí suas.
When her time came to speak, she stood up.
"Dia daoibh," thosaigh sí go socair.
"Hello," she began calmly.
"Is mise Niamh, agus tá mé ar bís mo smaoineamh a roinnt libh."
"My name is Niamh, and I'm excited to share my idea with you."
D'inis sí dóibh faoin gcuideachta nua teicneolaíochta inbhuanaithe atá sí ag iarraidh a chruthú.
She told them about the new sustainable technology company she wanted to create.
Bhí sí paiseanta faoin bhfuinneamh in-athnuaite.
She was passionate about renewable energy.
Thug sí an-léargas ar na teicneolaíochtaí is déanaí agus a n-úsáid fheidhmiúil.
She gave a detailed overview of the latest technologies and their practical applications.
Agus é ag druidim leis an deireadh, d’iarr infheisteoir le aghaidh dín ann cheist chrua air.
As she neared the end, an investor in the audience asked a tough question.
Bhí ceist ann faoi na costais agus na brabúis féideartha.
It was about the costs and potential profits.
Bhí sé soiléir go raibh an t-infheisteoir an-amhrasach.
It was clear the investor was very skeptical.
Bhraitheadh an seomra go hiomlán ciúin.
The room felt entirely silent.
D’amharc Niamh thart, d’aimsigh sí a misneach.
Niamh looked around, found her courage.
Dúirt sí go muiníneach, "Feicim go bhfuil éadóchas oraibh.
She said confidently, “I see you have doubts.
Ach, tá na sonraí seo go léir á mbreathnú againn.
But we are considering all these details.
Tá eolas agam.
I have the knowledge.
Tá an taithí agam chun é seo a dhéanamh.
I have the experience to make this happen.
Tá sé seo pearsanta dom.
This is personal to me.
Caithfidh mé é a dhéanamh."
I have to do this.
Mhínigh sí go hiomlán na pleananna, na figiúirí, agus an tiomantas a bhí aici.
She thoroughly explained the plans, figures, and her commitment.
Tar éis a cuid freagraí, bhí na hinfheisteoirí toilteanach.
After her responses, the investors were willing.
D’aontaigh siad an maoiniú a sholáthar.
They agreed to provide the funding.
Bhí Niamh thar a bheith sásta.
Niamh was overjoyed.
Bhí éacht mór bainte amach aici.
She had achieved something significant.
D’fhoghlaim sí leanúint lena fíorfhís.
She learned to follow her true vision.
Bhí muinín nua aice ina féin.
She had newfound confidence in herself.
Chuaigh sí amach arís faoin ngrian samhraidh, ag mothú bródúil agus athchothromaithe.
She stepped out again under the summer sun, feeling proud and rejuvenated.
Bhí todhchaí mhaith roimpi anois.
A bright future awaited her now.
Bhí sí réidh an saol a athrú leis an gcuideachta nua seo.
She was ready to change the world with this new company.
Mhol sí í féin as bheith dílis di féin.
She praised herself for staying true to herself.
Ag féachaint amach ar an ardán ina raibh sí, bhí sí cinnte gur leor a diongbháilteacht chun tosaigh a bhaint amach.
Looking out at the platform she stood on, she was certain that her determination would be enough to achieve success.
