Tikugwira ntchito tsiku lililonse kuti tithane ndi mdima ndikuthana ndi tsankho poyesera kubwerera ku umunthu womwe umakhala mkati mwathu tonsefe. Tikufuna kukhala chiwonetsero cha kumasulidwa, chikondi, chifundo ndi kuchiritsidwa - zomwezi zomwe timafuna kwa aliyense amene akuvutika mdera lathu. Emerge ali paulendo wokalankhula zowona zosafotokozedwa za ntchito yathu ndipo modzipereka apereka zolemba ndi makanema modzipereka kuchokera kwa omwe amagwirizana nawo mwezi uno. Izi ndi zowona zofunika pazomwe zenizeni zomwe opulumuka akuyesa kupeza chithandizo. Timakhulupirira kuti m'choonadi chimenecho ndiye kuunika kwa njira yakutsogolo. 

    Njirayi ndiyosachedwa, ndipo tsiku lililonse padzakhala maitanidwe, enieni komanso ophiphiritsira, obwereranso ku zomwe sizinathandize mdera lathu, kutitumikira monga anthu omwe akupanga Emerge, komanso zomwe sizinathandize opulumuka m'njira zomwe woyenera.

Ndizowopsa kwa ife kuganiza kuti mfundo izi sizimalowa munthawi yakutsogolo kwa ntchito yathu ndikukhala ndi malingaliro ndi machitidwe amtsiku ndi tsiku.

    Ndife okonzeka kutaya zonse. Ndipo mwa zonse zomwe tikutanthauza, nenani zoona zonse momwe ntchito zankhanza zapabanja sizinapezere mwayi kwa opulumuka ONSE. Sitinaganizirepo gawo lathu pothana ndi tsankho komanso kulimbana ndi mdima kwa opulumuka akuda. Ndife osagwiritsa ntchito phindu lomwe lakhazikitsa gawo laukadaulo kuchokera kuzowawa m'dera lathu chifukwa ndiye mtundu womwe tidapangidwira kuti tigwiritse ntchito.
