Ihlala ikhona into ebomini bomntu anokujongana nayo. Ukujongana kuthetha ukujongana ngokulula nomntu okanye into ngaphandle kokumphepha okanye ukuyiphepha. Ukuba umntu unokujongana nobunzima okanye inxenye yabo, unokwenza okuthile ngabo.

Le yeyona nto inokusetyenzwa njengoko ivula umnyango wokunceda nabani na azise ukuphuculwa kwendawo yobomi bakhe.

Umzekelo, unontlalontle utyelele umfazi obizwa ngokuba nguNkosikazi O’Leary kwikhaya lakhe. UNkosikazi u-O’Leary uneengxaki ezininzi kwaye umxelele unontlalontle.

Masithi uNkosikazi O’Leary ukhalaza ngelithi umyeni wakhe unxila ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye akaze azise ntlawulo ekhaya. Ifanitshala yophukile kwaye irente isemva.

Unontlalontle, ngeenjongo ezilungileyo, angathi, “Intoni ofanele uyenze, Nkosikazi O’Leary, kukucoca yonke le ndawo. Yicoce ukusuka phezulu ukuya ezantsi. Emva kwayo yonke into, sikunikile isepha. Kwaye yenza ukuba abantwana bakho bacoceke, banxibe eza ngubo zintle besikuthumelele zona. Ngoku ndiza kuthetha nomyeni wakho malunga notywala bakhe.”

Nokuba uNkosazana O’Leary ebenokuyicoca yonke indawo anxibise abantwana iimpahla ezintle, yena nonontlalontle ngoku bayaphikisana. Unontlalontle umxelele uNkosikazi O’Leary ngento ayaziyo ngamava akhe ukuba ayinakwenzeka. Uyazi nokuba akukho mntu unokuthetha nomyeni wakhe malunga nokusela kwakhe. Akacingi ukuba nohlaselo olupheleleyo loMkhosi wase-United States lunokwenza nantoni na ngokusela kuka Mnumzana O’Leary. Uyayazi le nto. Kwaye unontlalontle uqondile ukuba uNkosikazi O’Leary uqiniseke ngokupheleleyo kule nto.

Masithi endaweni yoko unontlalontle wayefumene into anokuthi uNkosikazi O’Leary ajongane nayo ayenze kwaye wayicela ukuba ayenze loo nto. Nangona oku kuvakala kulula kakhulu, kuyasebenza.

Unokuba ukuqaphele ukuba ngexesha lencoko yabo, Unkosikazi O’Leary wayechithe i ashtray. Ngoku uthi, “Ndiza kukuxelela into endiya kuyenza. Bendingayiqala lento kancinci ngexesha, kwaye bendiya kuyicoca indawo. Ngoku, kutheni ungagcini ii ashtrays zakho zingenanto?”

Ekuqaleni uNkosikazi O’Leary unokuba nomsindo kancinci ngunontlalontle. Kodwa emveni kokuba umfazi lowo sele emkile, uya kujikeleza ethulula ii ashtrays.

Kuyamangalisa. Ngequbuliso, uNkosikazi O’Leary unokuziva enethemba elikhulu. Akacelwa ukuba akhwele induli ephezulu kakhulu. Ucelwa ukuba ajongane nokwenza into aqonda ukuba angayenza. Kungekudala, unokude afumane umbono wokuba ikho into enokwenziwa ngokusela kukaMnu O’Leary.

Ubuchule kukufumanisa ukuba zeziphi iingxaki kwaye emva koko wenze into onokuyenza.

Inqanaba lokuqala lethemba “Kukho into ekufuneka yenziwe ngayo,” inqanaba lesibini “Yinto onokuyenza.”

Lo mgaqo wokunika umntu into anokujongana nayo, uluncedo kakhulu kwiindawo ezininzi.

Abantu bahlala bengayazi indlela yokuphila ebomini kwakhona. Baziva bengakwazi ukwenza naluphi na utshintsho ebomini, ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba kube ngcono. Kodwa ngokusebenzisa olu lwazi, unokubonisa umntu okanye neqela lonke labantu ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba kube ngcono.

Qala ngokumxelela umntu ukuba ufuna ukumnceda, “Bhala ephepheni uluhlu olufutshane lweengxaki onazo ebomini bakho.”

Xa egqibile, buza, “Yeyiphi kwezi ekulula ukuba ajongane nayo? Ngoku bhala oko phantsi.”

Emva koko mxelele, “Ngoku bhala phantsi into oyaziyo ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ungeyenza ngento yokugqibela oyibhalileyo.”

Kwaye ekugqibeleni, mxelele, “Ngoku, uyayibona into oyibhale phantsi emazantsi eli phepha? Yenze!”

Usebenzisa le migaqo, unokuba ngumcebisi ophumelele kakhulu. Fumana uqikelelo lwento abantu abayicinga ukuba yingxaki kunye nobunzima babo. Emva koko fumana ukuba zeziphi na abavakalelwa ukuba banokujongana nazo. Uphela unengxaki enye okanye ubunzima, kwaye baya kuba nakho ukujongana nokwenza intoni malunga nale ngxaki. Kwaye baya kwenza okuthile ngayo kwaye baya kuphumelela.

Into ekufuneka uyijonge kukuba abantu ngamanye amaxesha baqala ukuhamba ngokuzithemba okukhulu kwaye, njengomntwana osandul 'ukufunda indlela yokuhamba, uya kufuna ukunqumla igumbi elo ngamendu amakhulu. Baqhele ukuwa ngobuso babo malunga nenyathelo nje lesithathu. Banokuba namabhongo kakhulu. Ke kufuneka unike icebiso, “Sukuphinda wenze le nto ngoku.”

Ukuba uyenza uxanduva lakho ukuba (1) ngokukhawuleza ufumane uqikelelo lwento umntu acinga ukuba ayilunganga; wandule ke (2) afumane ukuba yeyiphi kula manqaku anokujongana nayo; ke (3) ufumanise into aza kuyenza malunga nelo nqaku acinga ukuba angayenza; kwaye (4) menze ukuba ayenze, kwaye ngeloxesha uya kuba uyanyanzeleka ukuba unyanzelise umxholo wokwenza elo nqaku, uya kuba nesivumelwano ngalo lonke ixesha.

Bayazi ukuba ubacebisa ngokuqikelela kwabo le meko kwaye ke uthetha inyani.
