Ngezikhathi ezinjalo, kuyilingo ukusola iminyaka yakho yonke into. Njengamanje, iminyaka ithathe umthamo wabo, futhi isibuko sijabule kancane. Futhi wena, njengowesifazane, awubonakali lutho kuwe, ngoba, ukuze umuntu angakhulumi ngokuhlangenwe nakho kanye nobudala bukaBalzac, impilo yabonisa ukuthi intsha ilula ngaphezu kokunye okuzuzisayo okuzuziwe ngaphezu kweminyaka.
Yilezi zinkinga eziyingozi kunazo zonke. Misa. Akusikho ubudala bakho, ngokuqondile, hhayi kuphela kulo. Ungafaki umthwalo wemfanelo kulokho okwenzekile emndenini wakho.

Indoda ayitholanga nje insizwa, yathola into ayengenayo:
- ukubonga. Singazibona kangaki isithunzi somyeni njengendaba. Indoda ibalulekile ukunakwa, futhi lowo obhekene negunya elikhulu, uyambamba;
- qaphela. Ekuphileni kwansuku zonke, sivame ukukhohlwa ukuthi akuzona izingane kuphela kodwa futhi umyeni udinga ukunakekelwa nokunakekelwa;
- umsebenzi wezocansi. Awekho amazwana;
- uthando lwakho ngokwakho. Uma sekudala uvala ukubonakala kwakho, ingabe kuyamangaza ukuthi umyeni wakhe washiya encane futhi enhle. Uthando lwangempela ngokwakho ludonsela abanye abantu abanjenge-magnet.
Uma umuntu engenakho okwanele okungenhla, uvame ukucindezelwa yinkinga eneminyaka ephakathi, futhi uzama ukubuyela enkambeni yobusha futhi kumnandi. Kodwa wena nomndeni, ukuze unqobe konke ukuphila kuhlangana ndawonye.
