Ukuqonda isifo sakho somhlaza

Uqikelelo lwakho luqikelelo lwendlela umhlaza wakho oza kuqhubeka ngayo kunye nethuba lokubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo. Umboneleli wakho wezempilo ubeka isigxina sakho kuhlobo kunye nenqanaba lomhlaza onawo, unyango lwakho, kunye nokwenzekileyo kubantu abanomhlaza ofana nowakho. Zininzi izinto ezichaphazela isifo sakho.

Kwiintlobo ezininzi zomhlaza, ithuba lokuchacha lonyusa ixesha elingaphezulu kokudlula emva konyango oluyimpumelelo. Ukwazi into onokuyilindela kunokuba luncedo kuwe nakwintsapho yakho. Ewe ulwazi oluninzi olufunayo kumboneleli wakho luxhomekeke kuwe.

Xa uthatha isigqibo sokuxela kwangaphambili, umboneleli wakho uya kujonga:

• Uhlobo kunye nendawo yomhlaza
• Inqanaba kunye nenqanaba lomhlaza-nantsi indlela engaqhelekanga ngayo iiseli zethumba kunye nendlela inyama ebonakala ngayo phantsi kwemicroscope.
• Ubudala bakho kunye nempilo ngokubanzi
• Unyango olukhoyo
• Usebenza njani unyango
• Iziphumo (amaqondo okusinda) abanye abantu ngohlobo lwakho lomhlaza

Iziphumo zomhlaza zihlala zichazwa ngokwendlela abantu abaninzi abasinde ngayo kwiminyaka emi-5 emva kokuxilongwa nokunyangwa. Ezi ntlawulo zisekwe kuhlobo oluthile kunye nenqanaba lomhlaza. Umzekelo, i-93% yeminyaka emi-5 yokuphila kwinqanaba lesifo somhlaza webele kuthetha ukuba i-93% yabantu abafunyaniswe ngaphezulu kwexesha elithile bahlala iminyaka emi-5 okanye nangaphezulu. Ewe kunjalo, abantu abaninzi baphila ixesha elide kuneminyaka emi-5, kwaye uninzi lwabo babekhe lwadlula kwiminyaka emi-5 bayanyangeka.

Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zamanani ezisetyenziswa ngoogqirha ukuqikelela amazinga okusinda. Iinkcukacha-manani zisekwe kwidatha eqokelelwe iminyaka emininzi malunga nabantu abanoluhlobo lunye lomhlaza.

Kuba olu lwazi lusekwe kwiqela elikhulu labantu ababephathwa iminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ayinakuhlala iqikelela ukuba izinto zizokuhambela njani. Asinguye wonke umntu ophendula kunyango ngendlela efanayo. Kwakhona, kukho unyango olutsha olukhoyo namhlanje kunokuba idatha yayiqokelelwa.

Iinkcukacha-manani zinokunceda ukuqikelela ukuba umhlaza uphendula njani kunyango oluthile. Inokukhomba nomhlaza ekunzima ukuwulawula.

Ke khumbula ukuba xa ufumana isibhengezo, asibekwanga ematyeni. Ngumboneleli wakho oqinisekileyo malunga nokuba unyango lwakho luya kuhamba njani.

Ukwazi isigxina sakho kunokunceda wena kunye nosapho lwakho uthathe izigqibo malunga:

• Unyango
• Unonophelo lonyango
• Imicimbi yobuqu enjengemali

Ukwazi ukuba ulindele ntoni kunokwenza kube lula ukujamelana nokucwangcisa kwangaphambili. Inokukunceda ukukunika ngakumbi ukulawula ubomi bakho.

Ewe abanye abantu bakhetha ukungazifumani iinkcukacha ezininzi malunga namanqanaba okusinda njalo njalo. Basenokuyifumana iyindida okanye iyoyikisa. Kulungile nayo. Unokukhetha ukuba ufuna ukwazi kangakanani.

Amaxabiso okusinda asekwe kulwazi oluvela kumawakawaka abantu. Unokuba nesiphumo esifanayo okanye esahlukileyo. Umzimba wakho wahlukile, kwaye akukho bantu babini bafana ncam.

Ukuchacha kwakho kuxhomekeke kwindlela ophendula ngayo kunyango kwaye nokuba kulula okanye kunzima kangakanani ukuba iiseli zomhlaza zilawulwe. Ezinye izinto zinokuchaphazela ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo, ezinje:

• Impilo yakho yasemzimbeni kunye neemvakalelo
• Ukutya kunye nokuzilolonga
• Izinto zokuphila, ezinjengokuba uyaqhubeka nokutshaya

Khumbula ukuba unyango olutsha luyenziwa ngalo lonke ixesha. Oku kwandisa ithuba lesiphumo esihle.

Ukuxolelwa ngokupheleleyo emva kokunyangwa umhlaza kuthetha:

• Akukho mkhondo womhlaza ofunyenweyo xa ugqirha ekuvavanya.
• Uvavanyo lwegazi kunye nemifanekiso alufumani mkhondo kumhlaza.
• Iimpawu kunye neempawu zomhlaza ziphelile.

Ukuxolelwa ngokuyinxalenye, iimpawu kunye neempawu ziyancitshiswa kodwa zingahambi ngokupheleleyo. Eminye imihlaza inokulawulwa iinyanga kunye neminyaka.

Ukunyanga kuthetha ukuba umhlaza utshatyalalisiwe, kwaye awuyi kubuya. Uninzi lwexesha, kuya kufuneka ulinde ixesha elithile ukuze ubone ukuba umhlaza ubuya ngaphambi kokuba uziqwalasele ukuba uphilile na.

Uninzi lomhlaza obuyayo lwenza njalo kwisithuba seminyaka emi-5 emva kokuba unyango luphelile. Ukuba sele uxolelwe iminyaka emihlanu okanye nangaphezulu, akunamdla wokuba umhlaza ubuye. Okwangoku, zinokubakho iiseli ezihlala emzimbeni wakho kwaye zibangele ukuba umhlaza ubuye emva kweminyaka. Unokufumana olunye uhlobo lomhlaza. Ke umboneleli wakho uya kuqhubeka nokubeka iliso kuwe iminyaka emininzi.

Nokuba kwenzeka ntoni, licebo elihle ukuziqhelisa ukuthintela umhlaza kwaye ubone umboneleli wakho rhoqo ukuze ahlolwe kwaye ahlolwe. Ukulandela ingcebiso yomboneleli wakho wokuhlola inokukunceda ukuba ube noxolo lwengqondo.

Shayela umnikezeli wakho ukuba unemibuzo okanye uxhalaba malunga nokuxela kwakho.
