Hambisa Okuningi

Bengiyi-recluse bookworm esikoleni esiphakeme, kodwa lapho ngifika ekolishi ngajoyina iqembu lami lokugwedla lasekolishi futhi angizange ngiyeke ukuhamba kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Ukuhamba nsuku zonke kubalulekile empilweni yethu. Sonke siyakwazi lokhu, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kungaba inselele ukukuhlanganisa ezinhlelweni zethu ezimatasa. Lapho siseyizingane, sasingakwazi ukuyeka ukunyakaza futhi sasilahlekelwa isikhathi sokuzijabulisa okuningi. Njengoba sesikhulile, ukunyakaza kwaba ukuvivinya umzimba nokuzivocavoca kwaba umsebenzi ohleliwe. Kodwa njengoba izimpilo zethu ziba ngokuzenzakalela futhi zigcwele, siya ngokuya sincipha. Ngesikhathi sokulethwa kosuku olulandelayo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi siqinisekise ukuthi sihlanganisa ukunyakaza kwansuku zonke ukuze sizuze zonke izinzuzo zokujima.

Akumangazi muntu, i izinzuzo zokuhamba kwansuku zonke zihlanganisa ukwakha imisipha, ukuqinisa amathambo ethu, ukwakha amandla ethu ahlangene, ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda kwethu, ukuthuthukisa impilo yenhliziyo, nokwandisa ukukhuthazela kwethu kokuphefumula kwenhliziyo. Ukunyakaza nakho kungasula izingqondo zethu, kusenze sizizwe sinamandla, kukhulule ukukhathazeka, kukhulise imizwa yethu yenjabulo, kwandise amandla ethu, futhi kusixhumanise nabantu nendawo esizungezile.

Manje, masingacabangi ukunyakaza njengokujima noma ukuya ejimini (ukuya ejimini kuhle kodwa ake sicabange ngaphandle kwebhokisi lapha). Futhi masingacabangi ngakho njengokunciphisa umzimba, ukushisa ama-calories, ukunqwabelana, noma ukufaka amajini. Ukuthi ukunyakaza kwethu kubandakanya izinsuku ezimbalwa ngeviki ukushaya ijimu, sifuna ukuqala ukuhlanganisa ukunyakaza okwengeziwe nsuku zonke. Kungaba kokubili okuhlelekile nokungahlelwanga. Lapho sinyakaza kakhulu usuku ngalunye, sizizwa singcono!

Ngakho-ke, sikuhlanganisa kanjani ukunyakaza kwansuku zonke? Kunezindlela ezincane eziyizigidi. Yenza noma yini ekulethela injabulo! Uma sihamba kumnandi kakhulu, sizokuhlanganisa kaningi. Uyakhumbula ngenkathi uFebe efundisa uRaheli ukuthi angazijabulisa kanjani ukugijima ku-"Abangane" ngesizini yesithupha? Yilokho esikufunayo lapha!

Lapho untula ugqozi noma mhlawumbe ubambeke ngaphakathi ngenxa yobhubhane, ungabhekisela kuhlu lwakho. Noma iyiphi indlela onyusa ngayo izinga lomsebenzi wakho izothuthukisa impilo yakho!
