BOTHO ba motho ke ntho e ipatileng, leha e le ntho eo re ratang ho e tseba. Re batla ho bo tseba hobane ha re bo tseba, re tseba ho sebetsana le beng ba bona ka matswalo a kokobetseng. Ha re ne re bo tseba, re ne re tla tseba hore nnyeo ke senokwane, kapa semanyamanyane ke leshodu, ba eso re etse hampe. Re ne re tla utlwisisana mme diphapang tse ngata di ne di tla ba siyo. Ke hore re ne re tla hloka dintwa malapeng, dintwa metseng, dintwa mahareng a ditjhaba. Mme hoo ke e nngwe taba.

Ha o tseba hore sepoko se teng mabitleng kamora hora ya leshome bosiu, ha o fetefete moo, o feta ha eba o tlamehile.
