"Isifiso sami wukuqhubeka ngiphushela ezindleleni ezintsha zokudala, futhi umsebenzi wami ulokhu uthuthuka futhi ukhombisa uhambo lwami njengomthwebuli wezithombe."
Ukuxhumana kwangaphakathi phakathi komthwebuli wezithombe nomnyuziyamu kufanele kube yimfihlo kakhulu, kuncane kuningi.
Umsebenzi we-KJ awuphathelene nemodeli wesilisa enqunu, imayelana nokuthi yini engemuva kohlaka, nokuthi yini edlulisela kuwe ngesithombe esisodwa nje.
Ukunqunu kwabesilisa akufanele kube okungavamile - ihlazo lokuthi amadoda anqunu "amabi" noma inganekwane yokuthi ipipi liyasongela noma kufanele kuqedwe ucansi kuphela.
Ngandlela thize, ubunqunu buba yingxenye engabalulekile yezithombe zakhe, kuyilapho imizwa enamandla, ukuba sengozini kanye nokubonakaliswa kokuhlangenwe nakho komuntu siqu kuthatha ukulandisa.
Ubuciko kufanele bubandakanye, ngakho-ke lapho umphakathi ubona amadoda afana nawo noma amadoda ezimpilweni zawo emelelwe, lobo buciko bamukelwa kangcono.
Umsebenzi ka-Adamu esiteji muhle ngendlela emangalisayo, unethalente eliyingqayizivele lapho esezodlala, unomuzwa ophakeme kakhulu wokukhuluma nomzimba wakhe ngokunyakaza nomsindo.
