Kungenzeka yini ukuthuthukisa izinhlobo ezintsha zemifino, izithelo noma izitshalo, ezihluke ngokuphelele futhi ezihlukile kunoma yiziphi ezinye izinhlobo ezikhona? Uma kunjalo, kwenzeka kanjani?
Kungenzeka. Oye wazuza kulowomugqa impumelelo ephawuleka kakhulu neyaziwa kabanzi nguLuther Burbank waseSanta Rosa, eCalifornia. UMnu Burbank akakaqali, njengoba sazi, uhlobo oluhluke ngokuphelele futhi olusha, kodwa akukho lutho olungamvimbela ekwenzeni kanjalo uma eqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe. Kuze kube manje, njengoba nje sazi, imizamo yakhe iye yaqondiswa ekuhlukaniseni izinhlobo ezithile zezithelo nezitshalo, zingakhiqizi uhlobo oluhluke ngokuphelele, kodwa olunezici zakho kokubili noma zolunye lwazo zombili noma izinhlobo eziningi ezisetshenziswa ekuthuthukiseni ukukhula okusha. Kushicilelwe ama-akhawunti amaningi omsebenzi kaMnu. Burbank, nakuba kungenzeka ukuthi akakutshelanga konke akwaziyo nakho konke akwenzayo, ukuze azuze impumelelo okungeyakhe. Uye wanikela inkonzo engenakulinganiswa kumuntu: uye wathatha izitshalo ezingasizi nezingabaziyo kuze kube manje wazikhulisa zaba izihlahlana eziwusizo, ukudla okunempilo noma izimbali ezinhle.
Kungenzeka ukuthuthukisa noma iyiphi imifino, isitshalo, isithelo, noma imbali, ingqondo engase icabange ngayo. Into yokuqala edingekayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe uhlobo olusha: ukukhulelwa. Uma ingqondo ingenakukwazi ukucabangela uhlobo olusha lwezinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, lowo mqondo awukwazi ukuhlakulela olunye, nakuba ngokulubheka nangokulusebenzisa ungase uveze izinhlobo ezintsha zezinhlobo ezindala. Umuntu ofisa ukusungula uhlobo olusha lwento ephilayo kumelwe azindle kahle ngohlobo lolo hlobo angaba nalo futhi kumelwe azindla ngalo ngokujulile nangokuzethemba. Uma ezethemba futhi ezosebenzisa ingqondo yakhe ngenkuthalo futhi engeke avumele umcabango wakhe ukuba uzulazule kwezinye izinhlobo noma azitike ngemicabango eyize, kodwa uzocabanga futhi acabange ngezinhlobo abeyoba nazo, khona-ke, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uzokhulelwa. umcabango ozomkhombisa uhlobo abelufisa kangaka. Lokhu kuwubufakazi bokuqala bempumelelo yakhe, kodwa akwanele. Kumelwe aqhubeke egxila emcabangweni awucabangile futhi acabange ngesineke ngalowo mcabango ngaphandle kokuzulazula aye kwabanye. Njengoba eqhubeka ecabanga, lomcabango uzocaca futhi izindlela ezintsha eziyolethwa ngazo emhlabeni ziyocaciswa. Okwamanje, kufanele azibekele ukusebenzisana nalezo zilwane eziseduze nalolo analo engqondweni; ukuzwa kubo; ukwazi ukunyakaza okuhlukene nokuba nozwelo nokuhlaba umxhwele ubisi lwesitshalo olugijima emithanjeni yaso kanye nasemithanjeni, ukuzwa esikuthandayo nokukunikeza, ukuwela izitshalo azikhethile bese ucabanga uhlobo lwaso ukuwela, ukuyizwa ikhula kusukela ezinhlobonhlobo ezimbili azikhethile, futhi inikeze isimo somzimba. Akufanele, futhi ngeke, uma esehambile kuze kube manje, adikibale uma engaboni ngaso leso sikhathi uhlobo lwakhe olusha njengomkhiqizo. Kufanele azame futhi futhi njengoba eqhubeka ezama ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uyojabulela ukubona uhlobo olusha luba khona, njengoba luyokwenza nakanjani uma enza ingxenye yakhe.
Umuntu oyoletha uhlobo olusha lwezinhlobo zezilwane zibe isidingo akazi lutho olutheni ngesayensi yezitshalo lapho eqala, kodwa kufanele ajwayelane nakho konke angakufunda ngalomsebenzi. Zonke izinto ezikhulayo zinomuzwa futhi umuntu kufanele azizwe nazo futhi azithande, uma ezokwazi izindlela zazo. Uma ezoba nokungcono kakhulu kukho kuzo, kufanele anikeze okungcono kakhulu anakho kubo. Lo mthetho uphethe okuhle kuyo yonke imibuso.
