IMFUNEKO YEMFUNDO

Ukuhamba isikolo komntu kubaluleke kakhulu, ukungabelani; kodwa ukuya esikolweni asisiyomfundo. Isikolo, imfundo, okanye into edla ngokubizwa ngokuba yimfundo, luqeqesho loLwazi olusemzimbeni emzimbeni kwii-usages kunye nemikhwa yenkcubeko yeengcinga, kunye nokuqhelana nezinto eziqhelekileyo kunye nokuphuculwa kwentetho.

Isifundo, njengoko igama libonisa, kukuguqula okanye ukuthoba, ukuzoba, okanye ukukhokela into yokugqibela kulowo uza kufundiswa.

Ukuhamba isikolo kuhlala kusisiqhelo kwaye kuyithintelo-ukuba iqala ngaphambi kwemfundo. Ngoba? Ngenxa yokuba ukufundiswa okufundayo esikolweni kuthathwa ziiimvo ezinjengokubakho kwazo kwaye zikhule zibe neenkumbulo; iinkumbulo zokubona, izandi, ukuthanda kunye nokunuka, kunye nemiyalelo ngokunxulumene nentsingiselo yeempawu. Iimpawu ezigcina iinkumbulo zithintela uMenzi okrelekrele; Bajonga imvelaphi yayo kunye nokuzithemba. Kungcono emntwaneni ukuba utitshala wakhe angaba ngumfundisi-ntsapho, kunokuba afundise okanye abe ngumqeqeshi. Ukufundiswa rhoqo kuyanyanzela uMthengi ukuba athembele kwaye abonisane neencwadi zezifundo endaweni yokuqale abonisane okanye abize ulwazi lwayo ngendalo ngaso nasiphi na isifundo; Ulwazi lwangaphambi kokuyinto yalo ngaphakathi. Ukuhamba isikolo phantse kusoloko kungamfaneli uMenzi ngamnye kwizinto ezinokwenzeka kwimfundo.

Isifundo kufuneka sisebenze kuMnyango olungiselelwe okwazi ukuba ungubani, ukuba ungubani na. Umzimba ayisiBo; ayisiqinisekiso; ayiwazi njengomzimba; ayazi nakuphi na okuchaphazeleka kuyo; umzimba uhlala uguquka. Ukanti, ngalo lonke utshintsho lomzimba kukho umntu okwaziyo ukwenza kuwo kwaye ugcwele kuwo; UMenzi ochaza okanye oazisa ukuba umzimba uphela-ukususela ebusaneni ukuya ekufeni komzimba. Umzimba unokuzivocavoca kwaye uqeqesheke kodwa awunakufundiswa, kuba ayingomntu kwaye awunakuba nobukrelekrele. Ubomi bomzimba womntu bohlulwe ngokwamaxesha okanye ubudala. Isigaba sokuqala bubuntwana. Ukususela ngexesha lokuzalwa komntwana kuya kufuneka aqeqeshelwe ukusetyenziswa kweenzwa: ukuqeqeshelwa ukuhoya, ukuva, ukungcamla nokubona. Uqeqesho kufuneka lwenziwe ngokulandelelana; kodwa ihlala iqhubeka ngendlela emxinwa kuba umongikazi okanye umama akazazi ukuba zithini na iimvakalelo, nokuba abaqeqeshe njani. Iintsana sisilwanyana nje esincinci singenoncedo, ngaphandle kwemeko yemvelo yokuzikhusela nokuzikhusela. Kodwa njengoko iza kuba ngumntu kufuneka ikhathalelwe kwaye ikhuselwe, kude kufike ixesha elinokuzibonakalisa. Yaziswa kwizinto kwaye iqeqeshelwe ukuphindaphinda amagama abo, njengephinda-phindo. Ngexesha lokukhula komntwana unokuphindaphinda amagama nezivakalisi, kodwa awukwazi ukubuza imibuzo ekrelekrele, okanye aqonde ukuba uxelelwa ntoni, kuba okwangoku i-Doer engaziqalanga ingene kulomzimba wesilwanyana.

Ubuntwana buye baphela xa uMnyango esenza ukuhlala kwakhe emzimbeni. Emva koko ubuntwana buqala; umntu omncinci ngumntu. Ubungqina bokuba uMenzi usemntwaneni unikwa imibuzo ebubuzayo ayibuzayo, nangokuqonda kwakhe iimpendulo-ukuba iimpendulo ziyafaneleka. Ngamaxesha athile emva kokuba iDoor ifumene ukungcungcutheka kwayo okokuqala ngokuzifumana kweli lizwe lingaqhelekanga, xa umzimba uphakathi kweminyaka emibini ukuya kwemihlanu ubudala, umntwana ngalo lonke ithuba uya kubuza umama imibuzo: ndingubani? Ndiphi? Ndivela phi? Ndifike njani apha? Akukho parrot okanye esinye isilwanyana onokucinga ngaso okanye ubuze omnye wale mibuzo. Kuyimfuneko ukuba umntu akrelekrele ukuba abuze imibuzo enjalo. Kwaye, ukuba umntu abuze imibuzo enjalo, loo mntu umele ukuba wayeyazi ngaphambi kokuba ingene kwaye uhlala kumzimba womntwana.

Ukufundiswa kweDoor kuloo mzimba kuya kuqala xa nawuphi na umbuzo kule mibuzo, kwaye umama kufuneka elungele umcimbi. Isimo sakhe sengqondo masibe kukuba athethe nomntu ongabonakaliyo ophuma kwenye indawo, onxulumene naye kwaye eze kuzokuhlala naye.

Ewe umama welo mzimba-womzimba akanakuxelela uMenzi onobulumko ngayo malunga nayo kuba ayazi ukuba yintoni na into eyaziwa sisimo emzimbeni wayo. Umama ucinga ukuba kufuneka, kwaye uyamkhohlisa uMenzi emntwaneni wakhe ngokuxelela into engeyonyani. Kodwa uMenzi uyazi ukuba into ayithethayo ayinjalo. Akukho ndoda okanye mfazi udluleyo kulwahlulo lokulibala apho ithamsanqa elinobunewunewu lisusa khona ezo zimvo, onokuyibona imeko elahlekileyo kunye neyikhumbula ekhaya ebangela ukuba abaninzi uDoti babuze, "Ndiphi?" Nokuthi "ndiphi?" umntu uziva ukuphoxeka kukaMenzi kulo mntwana xa enikwa ubuxoki obuqhelekileyo njengempendulo kwimibuzo yakhe. Umenzi uyazi ukuba awungomzimba. Kwaye iyazazi iimpendulo zokungangqinelani, -ezizathu ezibangela ukuba zikrokre kwaye zingathembi umama, okanye lowo unike iimpendulo ezinjalo. Ukwazi ukuba into ayixelelwayo ayinjalo, uMenzi emntwaneni uyeka ukubuza. Kwaye ixesha elide ihlangabezana nosizi lwemeko yayo.

Xa umama ebuzwa nguMenzi emntwaneni wakhe ngesiqu sakhe, unokuphendula ngendlela yakhe ngamanye amazwi anjengala: “Owu, sithandwa sam! Ndiyavuya kuba ulapha. Mna noBawo besikulindile, kwaye siyavuya ukuba ufike, kwaye uza kuba nathi. Oku kuyakwamkela uMnyango, kwaye kuyakwenza ukuba baqonde ukuba ngumama womzimba lowo. ngokuqonda ukuba ayisiwo lo mzimba ungaqhelekanga uzazi ngayo, kwaye uya kuthembela kwaye ube nokuzithemba kumama. Emva koko, ngokuxhomekeka kwimpendulo yayo kunye neminye imibuzo, angathi kuMenzi, ngendlela yakhe: “Uvela kwilizwe elahlukileyo; kwaye ukuze wena ungene kweli lizwe, Bawo kunye nam kuye kwafuneka ukuba sikufumane umzimba weli lizwe, ukuze uphile kulo. Kuthathe ixesha elide ukuba umzimba ukhule, kwaye ixesha elide lokuziqeqesha ukuze ubone kwaye uve kwaye uthethe, kodwa ekugqibeleni bekukulungele. Uzile, kwaye sonwabile. Ndiza kukuxelela ngomzimba okulo, nendlela oza kuwusebenzisa ngayo, kuba uze apha ukuze ufunde ngehlabathi, nokwenza izinto ezininzi zehlabathi, kwaye uyakufuna umzimba wakho ukuze ukwazi ukwenza nawo izinto zomhlaba. Siwunikile igama lomzimba, kodwa ngaphandle kokuba undixelele ngegama endizokubiza ngalo kuya kufuneka ndithethe kuwe ngegama lomzimba wakho. Mhlawumbi ulibele ukuba ungubani, kodwa xa ukhumbula ungandixelela. Ngoku ungandixelela into ngawe. Ndixelele ukuba ungakhumbula, ungubani? Uvelaphi? Uqale nini ukulapha? ”Phakathi kwemibuzo eyaneleyo kufuneka ivunyelwe ukuze uMenzi acinge kwaye akwazi ukuphendula, ukuba unako; kwaye imibuzo kufuneka yahluke kwaye iphindwe.

Umama usenokuqhubeka athi, “Sizakuba ngabahlobo abakhulu. Ndiza kukuxelela ngezinto ozibonayo emhlabeni, kwaye uya kuzama ukundixelela ngesiqu sakho, nangokuthi uvelaphi, malunga nokuba ufike kanjani apha, akunjalo?

Ezi ngxelo zinokwenziwa kunye nemibuzo ebuzwayo ngalo lonke ixesha kunye nemvume yesiganeko. Kodwa ukuthetha ngayo ngale ndlela kuya kwenza uMthetheleli ngokukhululekileyo kwaye kuvakale ukuba umama ngumhlobo oqondayo imeko ekuyo, kwaye kuyenzeka ukuba umthembe.

Isifundo soMenzi ovumayo emzimbeni senziwe ukuba sikwazi ukuvula, nokuhlala sivulekile, indlela phakathi kwawo namanye amalungu awodwa emzimbeni. Ke kuyakwenzeka ukuba bathathe kwiCinga labo kunye noKwazi olo lwazi lubanzi olunokwenzeka kuMnyango kuphela. Lowo Doer nakuwuphi na umntu onokuseka unxibelelwano noMcinga kunye noKwazi, ngakumbi ukususela ebuntwaneni, uya kuvulekela kwihlabathi umthombo wolwazi olukhulu ngaphaya kwamaphupha aphezulu abantu.

Eyona nto ibaluleke kubo bonke abantu kukuqonda nokuziqhelanisa nokuziphatha: ukwazi nokwenza izinto ezilungileyo nezinobulungisa. Ukuba uMenzi unokuhlala ezazi kwaye ecinga kwaye esazi, akuyi kunyanzelwa ukuba enze okungalunganga.

Umenzi usebenzisa ingqondo-yomzimba, imvakalelo-ingqondo, kunye nomnqweno-ingqondo. Ingqondo yomzimba kufuneka ibanjwe kwi-abeyance de abe u-Doer afunde ukusebenzisa ezinye ezimbini. Ukuba yenziwe ukuba isebenzise ingqondo yomzimba kwasebusaneni, phambi kokuba enye yenziwe, ingqondo-yomzimba iya kulawula kwaye ithintele ukusetyenziswa kwemvakalelo-yengqondo kunye neminqweno-yengqondo, ngaphandle kokuba zinokwenziwa ukusebenza njengezokuncedisa kwingqondo yomzimba. Ingqondo yomzimba yeyenkonzo yomzimba kunye neemvakalelo kunye nezinto zeempawu. Akunakwenzeka ukuba ingqondo-yomzimba icinge ukuba kukho enye into ngaphandle komzimba kunye nezinto zendalo. Ke ngoko, xa kanye ingqondo yomzimba ilawula imvakalelo-ingqondo kunye neminqweno-yengqondo, kufutshane akunakwenzeka ukuba iDoor emzimbeni icinge ngemvakalelo yayo okanye ngomnqweno wayo njengokwahluka emzimbeni. Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukuba uMenzi ancedwe ukuba acinge kunye neemvakalelo-kunye nomnqweno-wengqondo ngaphambi kokuba ingqondo yomzimba yenziwe.

Ukuba i-Doer isemzimbeni wenkwenkwe iya kucinga ngomnqweno wayo-ingqondo; ukuba ithatha indawo yomzimba wentombazana, iya kucinga ngovakalelo-ingqondo. Umahluko okhoyo phakathi kwendlela acinga ngayo uMenzi kumzimba wendoda kunye nalowo u-Doer emzimbeni wabasetyhini yile: uMenzi osemzimbeni-womntu ucinga ngokwesini somzimba, ngokwendlela yokusebenza, umnqweno; kwaye uMenzi kwi-femu-yomzimba ucinga ngokwezesondo zomzimba ezithi, xa zakhiwe kwaye zisebenza, zivakalelwa. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ingqondo-yomzimba inikezelwa rhoqo kulawulo lwezinye iingqondo ezimbini, uMenzi endodeni kunye noMenzi kule nkosikazi inyanzeliswa yingqondo yomzimba ukuba icinge ngokwesini somzimba okuyo. Ukuqonda ezi nyaniso kuya kuba sisiseko se-psychology yokwenyani.

UMenzi emntwaneni unokuxelelwa ukuba kufuneka azibuze ngokwakhe ngolwazi alufumanayo ngaphambi kokuba abuze abanye: ukuba kufanele azame ukuqonda, kunye nokungqina oko akuxelelweyo.

Umxholo wokucinga uthatha isigqibo sokuba yeyiphi kwezi ngqondo zintathu ucinga ukuba uMenzi ucinga. Xa uMnyango emntwaneni enika ubungqina kunina okanye kumgcini ukuba uqonda ukuba ayisiwo umzimba lowo, kwaye nokuba ungazijonga njengawo mvakalelo kunye nomnqweno wesazisi emzimbeni, oko ke ukuqala esikolweni kuya kuqala.

Ukuhamba isikolo, okwangoku okubizwa ngokuba yimfundo, yeyona ndlela ibalaseleyo yokukhumbula. Kwaye kunokubonakala ngathi injongo yootishala kukungena ezingqondweni zabaphengululi elona nani liphezulu lezibakala ngexesha elifutshane elinokwenzeka. Kukho umgudu omncinci ukwenza izifundo zibangele umdla. Kodwa kukho ingxelo ephindaphindiweyo: Khumbula! Khumbula! Oku kwenza umntu ukuba abe yimemori ezenzekelayo ezenzekelayo. Oko kukuthi, umntu ofumana aze agcine impembelelo yoko kubonisiwe okanye kuxelelwe ngabafundisi, kwaye ngubani onokuthi enze okanye avelise kwakhona okubonileyo kwinto ebonileyo okanye eviweyo. Umfundi ufunda idiploma yakhe yokuvelisa kwakhona oko akubonileyo nakuvileyo. Utyholwe ukuba akhumbule iingxelo ezininzi malunga nezihloko ezininzi afanele ukuba aziqonde, ukuba akukho xesha lingakanani lokukhumbula ingxelo. Akukho xesha lokuqonda okuyinyani. Kumdlalo wokuthweswa izidanga isiqinisekiso sokufunda sinikezelwa kwabo beklasi abo iinkumbulo zabo zinika impendulo efunekayo. Imfundo yabo, ke, kufuneka iqale ukuphuma kwesikolo-ngamava, kunye nokuqonda okuza kuvavanya ngokwakho.

Kodwa xa uMenzi esemzimbeni eqonda ukuba nguMenzi kwaye akangomzimba, owenza ukuba enze izinto ezenziwayo, kwaye xa esazi ngokuthetha naye uzisombulule iingxaki ezingasombululwanga ezincwadini, lowo uya kuxhamla esikolweni ngenxa yokuba uya kuyiqonda nokukhumbula into ayifundayo.

Abenzi beDo kumadoda amakhulu ehlabathi athe axhamla eluntwini ngokufumana kwabo umthetho kunye nokubizwa kwemigaqo, abayifumana imithetho okanye imigaqo ezincwadini, kodwa bazenzela bona ngokwabo. Emva koko imithetho okanye imigaqo-siseko yafakwa ezincwadini.
