Siphila esikhathini solwazi. Kuyafaneleka ukungena ku-inthanethi, njengoba izindaba ezivela emhlabeni wonke ziwela kithi ngokoqobo. Futhi okokuqala, sinake izinhlekelele, ukufa, izinhlekelele. Ngesinye isikhathi, kuqala ukubonakala sengathi yonke into emhlabeni imbi futhi alikho ikhambi. Kodwa mhlawumbe kusemandleni ethu ukuhlunga ulwazi? Khetha imithombo ethembekile, ukushicilelwa kwekhwalithi? Musa ukulengiswa ezinkingeni, kodwa bheka izixazululo ezihlokweni, ezinhlelweni nasezincwadini?
Kubonakala sengathi lezi zindaba zizoholela ekuphazamisekeni kwezinzwa ngokushesha? “Inkinga ayikho ezindabeni ngokwazo, kodwa indlela abethula ngayo abezindaba — igxile ezinhlekeleleni nasekuhluphekeni kwabantu, ekubeni kulula ukwenza imali ngakho. Sisebenzisa ulwazi oluyingozi empilweni yengqondo futhi olungase lubangele ukukhathazeka nokudangala. Kodwa kusemandleni ethu ukushintsha “ukudla kwethu kolwazi,” kusho isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo saseBrithani uJody Jackson, ocwaninga ngethonya lezindaba engqondweni. Nansi indlela esingakwenza ngayo.
1. Iba umthengi onokwethenjelwa wolwazi
Izinkampani eziningi ziphoqeleke ukuthi ziguqule ukwenza kwazo ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela kubathengi abanomthwalo wemfanelo. Imithombo yezindaba ayihlukile kubo. Ukuze benze imali, badinga izethameli. Futhi thina, abathengi bolwazi, singakhetha ngokuzibophezela esizokubuka. Ukuze senze lokhu, kubalulekile ukuba saziswe.
UNelson Mandela wathi imfundo iyisikhali esinamandla esingaguqula umhlaba ngaso. Ngokwazi izinzuzo kanye nokulimala okungalethwa yizindaba, singaba abathengi abanomthwalo wemfanelo wolwazi. Ekudleni kwethu kwabezindaba, sizofaka kuphela lezo zindaba ezingakhulumi ngezinkinga, kodwa mayelana nendlela yokuzixazulula. Lokhu kuyozuzisa inhlalakahle yethu engokwengqondo.
2. Beka phambili ubuntatheli obusezingeni eliphezulu
Ukungqubuzana phakathi kwekhwalithi kanye nobuntatheli obunenzuzo akuyona inkinga kwabezindaba kuphela, kodwa nakithi, ababukeli nabafundi. Sijwayelana nomphakathi ikakhulukazi ngemithombo yezindaba, ungasho nokusho ukuthi ngokwengxenye bayawubumba.
“Uma sithola ulwazi olubi, sithatha izinqumo ezimbi. Futhi asikwazi ukuzikhulula emthwalweni wemfanelo, sichaza ukuthi izenzo zethu azithinti lutho. Ithonya — umuntu ngamunye uyakwazi ukushintsha okuthile. Asisebenzisane ukwenza inzuzo ukuthi abezindaba banyathelise futhi babonise izindaba ezisezingeni eliphezulu,” kunxusa uJody Jackson.
Abaholi bendabuko embonini yezindaba besaba uguquko nokuhlolwa ngoba kusongela iholo labo futhi kuphambana nombono wabo. Kodwa bangathonywa ngomboniso obonakalayo.
3. Dlulela ngale "kwebhamuza lolwazi"
Ekuqaleni, izindaba zazingelona uhlobo lokuzijabulisa, zazikhona ukuze zisikhanyisele futhi zisazise, zisisiza ukuba sifunde okwengeziwe ngezwe elingaphezu kokuhlangenwe nakho komuntu siqu. Cabanga nje uma izikhungo nezikole ziqala ukwenza ngesimiso esithi “uma sinika abafundi lokho abakufunayo, bazobuyela kithi nakanjani”?
Cha, sazi kahle ukuthi izikole zikhathalela isikhathi eside, hhayi ukwaneliseka ngokushesha kwezifiso zabafundi, futhi okufanayo kufanele kudingeke ezindabeni. Izindaba akufanele zibe uhlobo lokuzijabulisa, futhi thina, babukeli nabafundi, kufanele sifune kakhulu.
4. Zimisele ukukhokhela okuqukethwe
Ngeke sibe nemidiya yamahhala nezimele uma singakhokheli okuqukethwe okuyikhwalithi. Uma abezindaba kufanele baphile ngenzuzo yokukhangisa, izimfuno zabakhangisi zizohlala zize kuqala kunezidingo zababukeli nabafundi. Uma sifuna ukuthi zizimele ngempela, kufanele sikulungele ukuzisekela — sibhalisele ukuphrinta noma ukushicilelwa kwe-inthanethi, noma simane sinikeze usizo olubalulekile lokuzithandela kumahhovisi abahleli abazisa ubuntatheli bekhwalithi.
5. Dlula ngale kwezindaba
“Umuntu ongafundi lutho ufundile kangcono kunomuntu ongafundi lutho ngaphandle kwamaphephandaba,” kusho uThomas Jefferson. Umuntu angavumelana naye. Ngeke sithembele emithonjeni yezindaba njengokuphela komthombo wolwazi. Ezweni lanamuhla, kunezinye izindlela eziningi, kusho uJody Jackson.
Imisebenzi yobuciko isisiza ukuthi sikhule ngokomzwelo, sifunde ukuqonda kanye nozwelo. Inganekwane isinika ulwazi oluqinile olusekelwe ucwaningo lwesayensi futhi isisiza ukuba siqonde umhlaba ngokujulile. Amadokhumentari akuvumela ukuthi ubheke inkinga ethile ngokuningiliziwe.
Amaphodikhasti nawo asiza ukufunda okuthile okusha. Isibonelo, izinkulumo ze-TED zinikeza ngamunye wethu ithuba lokuzwa abacabangi abavelele besikhathi sethu. Ulwazi lwekhwalithi lusivumela ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinolwazi nezicabangelayo.
6. Khetha imidiya yezindaba enikeza izixazululo
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sihlobana kanjani nezindaba, isathinta imibono yethu ngomhlaba, thina kanye nabanye. Kungakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi izindaba ziyithinta kanjani impilo yethu engokwengqondo futhi sikhethe ngokucophelela lokho esifuna ukukubuka nokufunda. Ngokufaka kulwazi lwezinto ezidliwayo hhayi kuphela ngezinkinga, kodwa futhi mayelana nezixazululo zabo, kancane kancane siqala ukugqugquzelwa isibonelo somunye umuntu.
Ngokubuka ukuthi abanye baphumelela kanjani ukunqoba izithiyo ezihlukahlukene (zomuntu siqu, zendawo, zezwe noma zomhlaba jikelele), sizivulela amathuba amasha. Ifaka ithemba nethemba, inika amandla — uhlobo «lokubasa ngokomzwelo» olusiza ekuvuleni amandla ethu.
Ukuze siguqule umhlaba ube ngcono, akumele sizibe izinkinga, kodwa akumelwe sithole ulwazi olufanele oludingekayo ukuze sizixazulule ngesikhathi. Ezweni lanamuhla, kukhona ukukhetha okucebile kwemithombo yolwazi kangangokuthi akudingeki silinde kuze kube yilapho imboni yezindaba iqala ukushintsha. Thina ngokwethu singashintsha kakhulu.
Ngokugcina ukudla okulinganiselayo kokwaziswa okusigcina sinolwazi lwakamuva ngezinkinga zamanje kanye nezixazululo ezingaba khona, siyoqaphela ukuthi umhlaba ugcwele abantu abamangalisayo abenza izinto ezimangalisayo. Kuxhomeke kithi ukuthi sizozifuna yini, sifunde kuzo, sikhuthazwe yisibonelo sazo. Izindaba zabo zingasikhombisa ukuthi singashintsha kanjani sibe ngcono hhayi imboni yezindaba kuphela, kodwa umhlaba wonke.
