INJONGO NOMSEBENZI

Injongo kukukhokelwa kwamandla, ubudlelwane beengcinga kunye nezenzo, isikhokelo ebomini, njengeyona nto umntu azabalazelayo, okanye oyena mntu uphambili ukuba aziwe; yinjongo ngamagama okanye isenzo, ukufikelela ngokupheleleyo, ukufezekiswa komzamo.

Umsebenzi isenzo: yengqondo okanye isenzo somzimba, indlela kunye nendlela eyenziwa ngayo injongo.

Abo bangenazo naziphi na iinjongo zobomi, ngaphandle kokonela iimfuno zabo kwangoko kwaye baphathwa gadalala, baba zizixhobo zabo banenjongo kwaye bayayazi indlela yokuhambisa nokusebenzisa abangenanjongo ukuze bazifezekise iziphelo zabo. Abo bangenanjongo banokucatshukiswa kwaye bakhohliswe; okanye yenziwe ukuba isebenze ngokuchasene notyekelo lwendalo; okanye basenokukhokelela kwiziphumo zentlekele. Oku kungenxa yokuba abananjongo ichanekileyo ngokwendlela abacinga ngayo, kwaye ke bayazivumela ukuba zisetyenziswe njengamandla kunye noomatshini ukuba bakhokelwe ngabo baneenjongo kwaye bacinga kwaye bakhokele kwaye basebenzise izixhobo zabo kunye noomatshini ukuze bafumane oko iyimfuneko.

Oku kusebenza kuzo zonke iindidi zabantu nakuzo zonke iindlela zokuhamba kobomi bomntu, ukusuka kwizilumko ezizalisa izikhundla ezinqwenelekayo, kwesisidenge ngokwasiphi na isikhundla. Uninzi, olungenanjongo ithile, luya kubakho kwaye luya kuba zixhobo, izixhobo: zenziwe ukuba zenze umsebenzi wabo bacinga kwaye baya kwenza kwaye basebenze ukuphumeza injongo yabo.

Imfuneko yomsebenzi yintsikelelo, hayi isohlwayo esimiselwe umntu. Akukho njongo inokufezekiswa ngaphandle kwesenzo, umsebenzi. Ukungasebenzi akunakwenzeka kwilizwe lomntu. Ukanti kukho abantu abazabalazela izinto ezingenakwenzeka, abacinga kwaye basebenze nzima ukuze baphile ngaphandle kokusebenza. Abangenanjongo yokuqhuba ikhondo labo ngokucinga, kwaye nokuba basebenze njani, banjengeFlasham kunye neJetsam kulwandle. Bayabhabha kwaye bakhukulile apha okanye phaya, bayabethwa okanye baphoswe kule ndawo okanye kwela cala, bade bakhukuliseke ematyeni ajikeleze imeko kwaye bangene ekuthandeni.

Ukukhangela ubumnandi ngovuyo kungumsebenzi onzima kwaye onganelisiyo. Omnye akufuneki afune ulonwabo. Akukho lonwabo luxabisekileyo ngaphandle komsebenzi. Olona lonwabo lwanelisayo lufumaneka kumsebenzi oluncedo. Yiba nomdla emsebenzini wakho kwaye umdla wakho uya kuba uyolo. Kancinci, ukuba kukho nantoni na, efundwayo kulonwabo nje; kodwa yonke into inokufundwa ngomsebenzi. Wonke umzamo ngumsebenzi, nokuba ubizwa ngokuba ucinga, ulonwabo, umsebenzi, okanye umsebenzi. Isimo okanye imeko yoluvo yahlula into eyolisayo kulomsebenzi. Oku kuboniswe ngesi siganeko silandelayo.

Inkwenkwana eneminyaka elishumi elinesithathu eyayincedisa umchweli ekwakhiweni kwindlu encinci yehlobo yacelwa:

"Ngaba uyafuna ukuba ngumchweli?"

“Hayi,” uphendule watsho.

"Ngoba kutheni?"

"Umbazi kufuneka enze umsebenzi omninzi."

"Uthanda umsebenzi onjani?"

Umfana waphendula ngokukhawuleza wathi, "Andifuni naluphi na uhlobo lomsebenzi."

“Ufuna ukwenza ntoni?” Kwabuza umchweli.

Encume ngoncumo inkwenkwe yathi: “Ndiyathanda ukudlala!”

Ukubona ukuba akanamdla wokudlala njengoko wayefanele asebenze, kwaye njengoko engazivolontiya engenalwazi, umchweli wambuza:

“Uthanda ukudlala ixesha elingakanani? Ngaba uthanda umdlalo onjani? ”

“Owu, ndiyathanda ukudlala ngoomatshini! Ndiyakuthanda ukudlala ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa ngoomatshini kuphela, ”yaphendula inkwenkwe ngomoya omninzi.

Ukuqhubeka kombuzo kuveza ukuba inkwenkwe ibisoloko ikulungele ukusebenza ngalo naluphi na uhlobo loomatshini, awayeqhubeka ebiza ukuba ngumdlalo; kodwa naluphi na olunye uhlobo lomsebenzi angazange aluvume kwaye aluchaze ukuba lusebenza, ngokwenjenje enika isifundo ngumahluko phakathi komsebenzi owonwabisayo nomsebenzi othe wasilela kuwo umdla. Uyolo wakhe yayikukuncedisa ukubeka oomatshini ngolungelelwano nokwenza ukuba isebenze. Ukuba kuya kufuneka abambe phantsi kwemoto, ubuso bakhe kunye neengubo zakhe zigqunywe ngegrisi, atyibilike izandla zakhe ngelixa zisontekile kwaye zichetywa, kulungile! ebengenakuthintelwa. Kodwa “wanceda ukwenza ukuba umatshini usebenze, kulungile.” Ukubona iinkuni kubude obuthile, kwaye kufanelekile ukuyila indlu yehlobo, kwakungekho ukudlala; 'yayingumsebenzi omninzi.'

Ukukhwela, ukuntywila, ukuntywila, ukuqhuba, ukwenza igalufa, ukhuphiswano, ukuzingela, ukubhabha, ukuqhuba-ezi zinokuba ngumsebenzi okanye ukudlala, ukuqesha okanye ukuzonwabisa, indlela yokufumana imali okanye indlela yokuchitha. Nokuba ngaba umsebenzi kukuxinana okanye uyonwabisa ubukhulu becala kuxhomekeke kwisimo sengqondo okanye umbono wakhe ngokubhekisele kuwo. Oku kubonakaliswe ku "Tom Sawyer" kaMark Twain, owenziwe wabangabalulekanga ngokuthi acoce ucingo luka-anti lukaSallie kusasa xa abo babemfuna ecela ukuba ahambe nabo baye konwaba. Kodwa uTom wayelingana nale meko. Wenza ukuba amakholwa akholelwe ukuba ukucekeceke kocingo olo kwakumnandi kakhulu. Ngembuyekezo yokubavumela benze umsebenzi wakhe, banika uTom ubuncwane beepokotho zabo.

Ukuba neentloni ngawo nawuphi na umsebenzi othembekileyo noluncedo, oko kuthetha ukuba umntu akanazintloni ngazo. Wonke umsebenzi olungileyo uhloniphekile kwaye wenziwa imbeko ngumsebenzi ohloniphayo umsebenzi wakhe ngento eyiyo. Asikuko ukuba umsebenzi ufuna uxinzelelo lokuba ngumsebenzi, okanye alindele ukuba umgangatho ogqwesileyo ubekwe emsebenzini ongabalulekanga kangako kwaye ufuna ubuchule obuncinci. Imisebenzi eyenziwa ngabo bonke abasebenzi ineendawo zabo ezifanelekileyo kwisikimu sezinto ngokubanzi. Kwaye owona msebenzi wokunceda eluntwini ufaneleke kakhulu. Abo umsebenzi wabo uza kuluncedo olukhulu loluntu ngakumbi kunokuba kunokubanzima kubo ukugxininisa amabango abo njengabasebenzi.

Ukungathandi umsebenzi kukhokelela kukungakhathaleli umsebenzi, njengokuziphatha okubi okanye ulwaphulo-mthetho, kwaye inzame yokuphepha umsebenzi ibangela umntu ukuba azame ukufumana into engeyonto. Ubuqili obungenakuthanani nokuzenza ukuba ukholelwe ukuba umntu unokufumana into engenanto iphazamise, okanye athintele umntu ukuba enze, uluncedo okanye uthembekile umsebenzi. Ukukholelwa ukuba umntu unokufumana into engento, sisiqalo sokunganyaniseki. Ukuzama ukufumana into engento kukhokelela kwinkohliso, intelekelelo, ukungcakaza, ukuqhatha abanye, kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho. Umthetho wembuyekezo kukuba umntu akanakufumana into ngaphandle kokupha okanye ukuphulukana okanye ukubandezeleka! Ukuba, ngandlela-thile, kungekudala okanye emva kwexesha, umntu kufuneka ahlawulele into ayifumanayo okanye ayenzayo. "Into engenanto" yinkohliso, inkohliso, inkohliso. Ayikho into efana nento engenamsebenzi. Ukufumana into oyifunayo, sebenzele oko. Esinye sezona zinto zibubuvuvu zobomi bomntu ziya kuchithwa ngokufunda ukuba into ayinakuba lilize. Lowo ufundileyo usekwe ngokuthembekileyo ebomini.

Ukubaluleka kwenza umsebenzi ungangeneki; Umsebenzi luxanduva olungxamisekileyo lwamadoda. Zombini i-idle kunye nomsebenzi osebenzayo, kodwa ama-idle afumana ukwaneliseka okuncinci kokufumana i-idling kunokusebenza ngokusebenza. Ukuchonga ukungafaneleki; Umsebenzi uyenziwa. Injongo ikuwo wonke umsebenzi, kwaye injongo kwi-idling kukubaleka umsebenzi, ongenakuthintelwa. Kwanenkawu kukho injongo ngezenzo zayo; kodwa injongo kunye nezenzo zayo zezokomzuzwana. Inkawu ayixhomekekanga; akukho nto incinci okanye akukho kuqhubekeka kwenjongo koko kwenziwa yinkawu. Umntu kufuneka enoxanduva ngakumbi kunenkawu!

Injongo ingemva kwayo yonke intshukumo yengqondo okanye yemisipha, wonke umsebenzi. Umntu unokungayidibanisi injongo yesenzo, kodwa ulwalamano lukhona, ekuphakanyisweni komnwe nasekuphakanyisweni kwepiramidi. Injongo kukunxibelelana kunye noyilo lwe concatenation yeengcinga kunye nezenzo ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya esiphelweni sexesha-nokuba ngumsebenzi ngalo mzuzu, womhla, okanye wobomi; Inxibelelanisa zonke iingcinga kunye nezenzo zobomi njengamakhonkco, kwaye inxibelelanise iingcinga kunye nezenzo ngothotho lobomi njengothotho lwamakhonkco, ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya esiphelweni sobomi: ukusuka kowokuqala ukuya wokugqibela wobomi babantu inzame ekufikeleleni emfezekweni.

Ukugqibelela koMenzi kufunyanwa kukudibana kunye nokuhlangana kunye noMcingeli kunye noKwaziwa kwelaphakade kwaye kwangaxeshanye, ngokufezekisa injongo yakhe emsebenzini omkhulu wokuvuselela kunye nokuvusa kunye nokuphakamisa umzimba wayo ofayo ube ungafiyo umzimba wobomi banaphakade. UMenzi oqinisekileyo emzimbeni wakhe ongumntu unokwala ukuqaphela injongo yakhe ebomini; Inokwala ukucinga ngomsebenzi wayo ukuze ifezekiswe. Kodwa injongo yomntu wonke Door ishiywe ngumbono wayo ongenakuthelekiswa nanto kunye noKwaziwa ngoNaphakade ngelixa iguqukela ekuthinjweni ngexesha lehlabathi lehlabathi leemvakalelo, ukuqala kunye neziphelo, zokuzalwa nokufa. Ekugqibeleni, ngokuzikhethela kwayo, kwaye nangakuKhanyisi wayo weConscious, iyavuka kwaye igqibe ekubeni iqale umsebenzi wayo kunye nokuqhubeka neenzame zayo ekufezekiseni injongo yayo. Njengoko abantu beqhubela phambili ekusekweni kwedemokhrasi yokwenene baya kuyiqonda le nyaniso inkulu.
