Zosiyidwa m'mabuku anga akusukulu aku Swedish ndi zokambirana za m'kalasi zinali kukana ndi masomphenya ena omwe nthawi zonse amagwirizana ndi nkhondo ndi nkhondo. Ndiko kuti, ntchito yamtendere, m’lingaliro lake lalikulu ndi lozama.
Kuganiza, kuchita, kukhala mwamtendere kumatanthauza zinthu zambiri - komabe zochepa zomwe zimalandiridwa panthawi yonse yamaphunziro athu komanso mkangano wapoyera.

Tsopano kuposa kale lonse tikufunika kulimbikitsa, kutsogolera ndi kulimbikitsa ntchito za maphunziro a anthu pophunzitsa mtendere - makamaka pakati pa achinyamata, mkati ndi kunja kwa sukulu.
