INHLOSO NOMSEBENZI

Inhloso ukuqondisa kwamandla, ukuhlobana kwemicabango kanye nezenzo, isisusa esiholayo empilweni, njengento esheshayo umuntu ayilwelayo, noma isihloko esikhulu okumele saziwe; kuyinhloso ngamazwi noma ngesenzo, ukuzuza okuphelele, ukufezwa komzamo.

Umsebenzi isenzo: isenzo sengqondo noma somzimba, izindlela nendlela okufezwa ngayo inhloso.

Labo abangenayo injongo ethile ekuphileni, ngaphandle nje kokwanelisa izidingo zabo ezisheshayo nokuhlekisa, baba amathuluzi alabo abanenjongo futhi abakwaziyo ukuqondisa nokusebenzisa abangenanjongo ukuze bathole izinjongo zabo. Abangenanjongo bangakhohliswa futhi bakhohliswe; noma zenziwe zisebenze ngokumelene nokuthambekela kwazo kwemvelo; noma zingase ziholele ekubanjweni okuyinhlekelele. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abanayo inhloso eqondile abacabanga ngayo, ngakho-ke bavumela ukusetshenziswa njengamandla nemishini ukuze iqondiswe yilabo abanenjongo futhi abacabangayo futhi baqondise futhi basebenze ngamathuluzi abo abantu kanye nemishini ukuze bathole lokho. kuyafiswa.

Lokhu kusebenza kuzo zonke izigaba zabantu nakuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila komuntu, kusukela kwabahlakaniphile abagcwalisa izikhundla ezifiselekayo, kuya kwabayisiphukuphuku kunoma yisiphi isikhundla. Abaningi, abangenayo injongo ethile, bangase babe futhi babe amathuluzi, amathuluzi: enziwe ukwenza umsebenzi walabo abacabangayo nabafisa futhi basebenze ukuze bafeze injongo yabo.

Isidingo somsebenzi siyisibusiso, hhayi isijeziso esinikezwe umuntu. Ayikho inhloso engafezwa ngaphandle kwesenzo, umsebenzi. Ukungenzi lutho akunakwenzeka emhlabeni womuntu. Nokho kunabantu abalwela okungenzeki, abacabangayo futhi basebenze kanzima ukuze baphile ngaphandle komsebenzi. Njengoba bengenayo injongo yokuqondisa indlela yabo ngokucabanga, nokuthi basebenzeleni, banjenge-flotsam ne-jetsam olwandle. Ziyantanta futhi zikhukhuleka lapha noma laphaya, ziphephethwa noma zijikijelwe ngapha nangapha, zize ziphahlazeke emadwaleni esimo futhi zicwile ekukhohlweni.

Ukufuna ubumnandi bomuntu ongenzi lutho kuwumsebenzi onzima futhi ongagculisi. Umuntu akudingeki afune ukuzijabulisa. Ayikho intokozo enenzuzo ngaphandle komsebenzi. Izinjabulo ezanelisa kakhulu zitholakala emsebenzini owusizo. Yiba nentshisekelo emsebenzini wakho futhi nentshisekelo yakho izoba yintokozo. Kuncane, uma kukhona, okufundwayo enjabulweni nje; kodwa konke kungafundwa ngomsebenzi. Yonke imizamo ingumsebenzi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ibizwa ngokuthi ukucabanga, injabulo, umsebenzi, noma umsebenzi. Isimo sengqondo noma umbono wehlukanisa lokho okuyinjabulo nalokho okuwumsebenzi. Lokhu kuboniswa yisigameko esilandelayo.

Umfana oneminyaka eyishumi nantathu owayesiza umbazi ekwakheni indlu encane yasehlobo wabuzwa:

“Uyafuna ukuba umbazi?”

“Cha,” ephendula.

"Kungani kungenjalo?"

“Umbazi kufanele enze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu.”

"Uthanda hlobo luni lomsebenzi?"

“Angithandi noma yiluphi uhlobo lomsebenzi,” kuphendula umfana ngokushesha.

"Uthanda ukwenzani nje?" kubuza umbazi.

Futhi ngokumomotheka okulungele umfana wathi: “Ngithanda ukudlala!”

Ukuze abone ukuthi wayengenandaba yini nokudlala njengoba ayezosebenza, futhi njengoba ayengenalo ulwazi ngokuzithandela, umbazi wabuza:

“Uthanda ukudlala kuze kube nini? Futhi uthanda hlobo luni lomdlalo?"

“O, ngithanda ukudlala ngemishini! Ngithanda ukudlala ngaso sonke isikhathi, kodwa ngemishini kuphela,” kuphendula umfana ngomoya omkhulu.

Ukubuzwa okwengeziwe kwembula ukuthi umfana wayehlale elangazelela ukusebenza nganoma yiluphi uhlobo lwemishini, ayelokhu ebiza ngokuthi umdlalo; kodwa noma yimuphi omunye uhlobo lomsebenzi angawuthandi futhi wathi uwumsebenzi, ngalokhu enikeza isifundo ngomehluko phakathi komsebenzi oyinjabulo nomsebenzi umuntu angenasithakazelo kuwo. Intokozo yakhe kwaba ukusiza ukulungisa imishini nokwenza ukuthi isebenze. Uma kwakudingeka agxume ngaphansi kwemoto, agcotshwe ubuso nezingubo ngamafutha, abhoboze izandla zakhe kuyilapho esonteka futhi eshaya ngesando, pho! lokho kwakungeke kugwemeke. Kodwa "usize ukwenza lowo mshini usebenze, kulungile." Nakuba ukusaha ukhuni lube ngobude obuthile, nokubufaka emklamweni wendlu yasehlobo, kwakungewona umdlalo; “kwakuwumsebenzi omningi kakhulu.”

Ukuqwala, ukutshuza, ukugibela izikebhe, ukugijima, ukwakha, igalofu, imijaho, ukuzingela, ukundiza, ukushayela—lokhu kungaba umsebenzi noma ukudlala, umsebenzi noma ukuzijabulisa, indlela yokuthola imali noma indlela yokuyisebenzisa. Ukuthi umsebenzi uyacika noma uyajabulisa kuncike kakhulu esimweni sengqondo somuntu noma umbono wakhe ngawo. Lokhu kwabonakala ku-Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," owehliswa ukuxoshwa ngokucasha ucingo luka-Anti Sallie ekuseni lapho ama-chums akhe ayezombiza ukuba ahambe nabo ukuze ajabule. Kodwa uTom wayelingana nesimo. Wabenza bakholwa abafana ukuthi ukucaya lolocingo kwakumnandi kakhulu. Ngenxa yokubavumela ukuba benze umsebenzi wakhe, banikeza uTom amagugu emaphaketheni abo.

Ukuba namahloni nganoma yimuphi umsebenzi othembekile nowusizo kuwukubukela phansi umsebenzi womuntu, okufanele lowo muntu abe namahloni ngawo. Wonke umsebenzi owusizo uyahlonishwa futhi uhlonishwa yisisebenzi esihlonipha umsebenzi waso ngalokho oyikho. Akukhona ukuthi isisebenzi sidinga ukugcizelela ukuba yisisebenzi saso, noma silindele indinganiso yobuhle obuphakeme ukuba ibekwe emsebenzini ongabalulekile kangako futhi odinga ikhono elincane. Imisebenzi eyenziwa yibo bonke abasebenzi inezindawo zayo ezifanele ohlelweni olujwayelekile lwezinto. Futhi umsebenzi ozuzisa kakhulu umphakathi ufanele ukuzuzisa kakhulu. Labo umsebenzi wabo ozohlomulisa umphakathi kakhulu mancane kakhulu amathuba okuthi bagcizelele izimangalo zabo njengabasebenzi.

Ukungawuthandi umsebenzi kuholela emisebenzini eyihlazo, njengokuziphatha okubi noma ubugebengu, futhi umzamo wokugwema umsebenzi ubangela ukuba umuntu azame ukuthola okuthile mahhala. Ubuqili obungabonakali bokwenza umuntu akholelwe ukuthi angathola okuthile mahhala kuyaphazamisa, noma avimbele umuntu ekwenzeni, umsebenzi owusizo noma othembekile. Inkolelo yokuthi umuntu angathola okuthile mahhala iyisiqalo sokungathembeki. Ukuzama ukuthola okuthile mahhala kuholela ekukhohliseni, ekuqageleni, ekugembuleni, ekukhwabaniseni abanye nasebugebengwini. Umthetho wokunxeshezelwa ukuthi umuntu akakwazi ukuthola okuthile ngaphandle kokunikela noma ukulahlekelwa noma ukuhlupheka! Ukuthi, ngandlela-thile, ngokushesha noma sekwephuzile, umuntu kufanele akhokhele lokho akutholayo noma lokho akuthathayo. “Into eyize” ingamanga, inkohliso, ukuzenzisa. Ayikho into engathi shu. Ukuze uthole okufunayo, kusebenzele. Enye yenkohliso embi kakhulu yokuphila komuntu iyoqedwa ngokufunda ukuthi okuthile ngeke kube yize. Umuntu oye wafunda lokho ngesisekelo sokwethembeka sokuphila.

Isidingo senza umsebenzi ungabalekeleki; umsebenzi uwumsebenzi ophuthumayo wamadoda. Kokubili umsebenzi ongenzi lutho nosebenzayo, kodwa abangenzi lutho bathola ukwaneliseka okuncane ekungenzini lutho kwabo kunokuthola okusebenzayo ekusebenzeni. Idling iyagunyaza; umsebenzi uyafeza. Inhloso ikuwo wonke umsebenzi, futhi inhloso yokungenzi lutho wukubalekela umsebenzi, ongenakugwenywa. Ngisho nasenkawini kunenhloso ngezenzo zayo; kodwa inhloso yayo kanye nezenzo zayo okomzuzwana kuphela. Inkawu ayithembekile; kuncane noma akukho ukuqhubeka kwenhloso kulokho okwenziwa inkawu. Umuntu kufanele abe nomthwalo wemfanelo ngaphezu kwenkawu!

Inhloso ingemuva kwazo zonke izenzo zengqondo noma zemisipha, wonke umsebenzi. Umuntu angase angayihlobanisi injongo nesenzo, kodwa ubuhlobo bukhona, ekuphakamiseni umunwe kanye nasekuphakanyisweni kwephiramidi. Inhloso iwukuhlobana nokuklanywa kokuhlangana kwemicabango nezenzo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni komzamo—kungaba umsebenzi wesikhashana, wosuku, noma wokuphila; ixhumanisa yonke imicabango nezenzo zempilo njengaseketangweni, futhi ixhuma imicabango nezenzo ngochungechunge lwezimpilo njengaseketangeni lamaketango, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni kwezimpilo: kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni kwezimpilo zabantu. umzamo ekufinyeleleni ukuphelela.

Ukuphelela koMenzi kufinyelelwa ngobudlelwane bakhe obaziyo kanye nobunye noMcabangeli kanye Nokwazi Kwaphakade futhi ngasikhathi sinye, ngokufeza inhloso yakhe emsebenzini omkhulu wokuvuselela nokuvusa kanye nokukhuphula umzimba wayo ofayo ube ongafi. umzimba wokuphila okuphakade. UMenzi oqaphelayo emzimbeni wakhe womuntu angenqaba ukubheka injongo yawo ekuphileni; lingenqaba ukucabanga ngomsebenzi walo ukuze liwufeze. Kepha inhloso yawo wonke uMenzi ulele kuMcabango wakhe noKwazi ongenakuhlukaniswa kwaPhakade ngenkathi ephuma ekudingisweni ezweni lesikhathi lemizwa, leziqalo neziphetho, zokuzalwa nokufa. Ekugcineni, ngokukhetha kwayo, nangokwayo i-Conscious Light, iyavuka futhi inqume ukuqala umsebenzi wayo nokuqhubeka nemizamo yayo ekufezeni inhloso yayo. Njengoba abantu bethuthuka ekumiseni kwabo intando yeningi yeqiniso bazoliqonda leli qiniso elikhulu.
