Ag meán lae i lár mhí Dheireadh Fómhair, bhí teannas ag borradh timpeall ar an bPríomh Ionad le haghaidh an Dublin Tech Summit.

At midday in the middle of October, there was building tension around the @AtLangBrace{Príomh Ionad} for the @AtLangBrace{Dublin Tech Summit}.

Bhí an t-atmaisféar leictreach le nuálaíocht agus díograis.

The atmosphere was electric with innovation and enthusiasm.

Bhí fiontraithe ó gach cearn den domhan ag comhoibriú, ag súil lena n-aislingí teicneolaíochta a roinnt.

Entrepreneurs from all over the world were collaborating, hoping to share their technological dreams.

I gcroílár an phlé, d'fhéach Oisín, fiontraí óg le súil ghleoite, amach ar an slua.

At the heart of the discussion, @AtLangBrace{Oisín}, a young entrepreneur with a bright eye, looked out at the crowd.

Bhí sé réidh lena sheó mór.

He was ready for his big show.

Bhí na sluaite chaite i spéir-líne faoi sheomra mór caidrimh, lán le suaitheantais agus scáthláin.

The throngs were cast in a skyline under a large gathering room, full of badges and stalls.

Agus é ag súil lena dhíol spéise mór, mhothaigh Oisín conas a bhí a bholg ag iompáil.

As he anticipated his major attraction, @AtLangBrace{Oisín} felt how his stomach was turning.

Bhí sé i gcónaí beagáinín néirbhíseach faoin labhairt phoiblí.

He was always a little nervous about public speaking.

Mar sin féin, bhí sé cóirithe go fearr agus bhí súil aige gur bhrisfeadh a phlean gnó tríd na gnéithe scanrúla sin nach raibh a fhios aige a bhí ag teacht go luath.

Nonetheless, he was dressed well and hoped that his business plan would break through those daunting elements he didn't know were coming soon.

Chomh luath agus a d'fhéach sé amach ar an slua, thosaigh na sleamhnáin ag teacht faoi bhráid na hoileáin.

As soon as he looked out at the crowd, the slides began appearing across the island.

Ach ansin, stad gach rud.

But then, everything stopped.

Bhí gach pictiúr agus sonraí imithe.

Every picture and detail was gone.

Tharla rud éigin dona leis an teicneolaíocht.

Something bad had happened with the technology.

Bhí a léiriú cruthaitheach ag titim.

His creative presentation was collapsing.

Gan am chun moill a dhéanamh nó a bheith buartha, rinne Oisín cinneadh cróga.

Without the time to delay or worry, @AtLangBrace{Oisín} made a brave decision.

Mheas sé go bhféadfadh sé níos fearr fós a dhéanamh gan an teicneolaíocht.

He reckoned he could do even better without the technology.

D'fhéach sé isteach i súile an lucht éisteachta, chuir sé lámh ina phóca, agus scaoil sé a scéal mar a bheadh seanchaí ann.

He looked into the eyes of the audience, placed his hand in his pocket, and unfolded his story like a @AtLangBrace{seanchaí}.

D'fhoghlaim Oisín faoin domhan ag aois óg, ag fás aníos i gCo. Chill Mhantáin.

@AtLangBrace{Oisín} learned about the world at a young age, growing up in @AtLangBrace{Co. Chill Mhantáin}.

Labhair sé faoin dúil a bhí aige i gcónaí i dteicneolaíocht agus conas a spreag sé conraitheoirí teicneolaíochta a cruthaíodh.

He spoke about his longstanding interest in technology and how he inspired tech contractors he had created.

D'fhill sé ar an nóiméad nuair a phléasc an smaoineamh ina cheann; smaoineamh a bheadh ina stoirm ar an mhargadh.

He returned to the moment when the idea burst in his head; an idea that would storm the market.

Labhair sé gan cur isteach, chuir sé a chuid paiseanta agus creidimh os comhair an lucht éisteachta.

He spoke without interruption, presenting his passion and beliefs to the audience.

Chonaic Niamh agus Liam, beirt chairde agus lucht tacaíochta, é ag éirí bródúil agus álainn.

@AtLangBrace{Niamh} and @AtLangBrace{Liam}, two friends and supporters, saw him rising beautifully and proudly.

Lean Oisín ar aghaidh, ag insint faoi na dúshláin a bhí roimhe seo agus a chuid aislingí don todhchaí.

@AtLangBrace{Oisín} continued, recounting the challenges he faced before and his dreams for the future.

Nuair a chríochnaigh sé, bhí an seomra ciúin ar feadh cúpla soicind; ansin bhí borradh pléasctha le bualadh bos fórsaúil.

When he finished, the room was quiet for a few seconds; then there was an explosive surge of applause.

Tháinig amaitéarach leathan ar aghaidh, ag tabhairt cineáltas ar aghaidh.

A broad amateur came forward, passing kindness along.

Labhair infheisteoirí taobh le Oisín ina dhiaidh, gach ceann acu toilteanach tuilleadh a chloisteáil faoina smaointe.

Investors spoke alongside @AtLangBrace{Oisín} afterward, each of them eager to hear more about his ideas.

Mar a chríochnaigh an lá, bhí Oisín ag siúl as an seanbhoth, le cuma úrnua.

As the day ended, @AtLangBrace{Oisín} was walking out of the old booth, with a refreshed look.

Bhain Oisín amach an méid a theastaigh uaidh agus níos mó fós.

@AtLangBrace{Oisín} achieved what he wanted and more.

Bhí a mhuinín fástha agus an eagla roimhe sin tar éis titim.

His confidence had grown and the previous fear had fallen away.

Bhí sé anois ag tnúth le todhchaí ina raibh súil leis na spéire arís.

He was now looking forward to a future with anticipation of the horizon once more.

Cén tslí iontach a bhí ann chun éirí as!

What an amazing way it was to rise!
