Zomite sungah bang hangin kiphinna, kipumkhatlohna, leh kithutuaklohna om den a, biakna pawlpi, paidan leh thu-up kibangte lakah zong bang hangin pawl kikhenna piang hiam, cih i ngaihsut ciangin tom cikin dawn theih a, “Makai siam le nungzui hoih a tamloh man” ahi hi. Makaite in ‘Bangci bangin mipite makaihin hi leng kithutuakin, khangto thei ding hiam’, cih ngaihsut penin nei lo a, mipite in zong makaite makaihna zui siam lo hi. Makai te’n mipite khualna leh itna taktak tawh a makaih mipite phattuam nading leh hoih zawk nading ngaihsunin, mipite in zong makaite makaihna bangin zuisiam leng nuntak hong nuamin, gengen kul loin kipumkhatna piang tawm lel ding hi. Tua ahih manin, makaihna leh nungzuihna pen a kizomden, a kikhen thei lo ahi hi.

I. Makai leh nungzui :

Leitung-ah a neu mahmah ganhing Miksite leh a lian mahmah Saite pan kipan, Pasian bawl nate laka a thupi pen mihingte ciang dongin – innkuan, khua, pawlpi, minam leh gam adingin kisap lianpen in – kimakaihna hoih, khantohna, hong susia thei tuamtuamte lak pana kikepbit nading leh suahtak nadingin amaute lakah vaihawm ding a telkhiat / sehkhiat / om kul a, tua pen ‘makai’ kici hi. Tua makaite pil leh pilloh, a kivak leh kivaklohin pawl sung nop leh noploh, khantohna leh niamkiatna sai mahmah hi.

Makai a om theih nadingin makai a seh, a teelkhia om a, tua pen ‘nungzui’ kici hi. Makai a om theih nadingin nungzui om pelmawh hi.

II. Makaih siam, makai hoih i cih kuate hiam? :

Harry S. Truman (1884 – 1972), US President (1945 – 53) in, “Makai siam i cih pen mipite in a sepnoploh uh na khatpeuh, thanuam tak leh lawp taka semsak thei dinga makaih siamna a neite ahi hi” ci hi. Peter G. Wiwcharuck in, “Makai siam i cihte pen mipite leh a upna, ngaihsutna, hun, neihsa leh thatangte siam taka zanga nasep a lawhcingsakte ahi hi” na ci hi. Ted W. Enstrom in, “Makai omzia bulpi pen hih leitunga a hoih na khat peuhpeuh seppihte zang a tangtunsak / picinsak ahi hi,” na ci hi. Victor Manogram in, “Makai omzia in, pawl tup le ngimte tel a, a lawhcin theih nadinga mite thapiak a siamte ahi hi,” na ci hi. Lord Montgomery in, “Makai i cihin kipawlna hoih dangte bangin tup le ngim kician nei ding a, tua pawl’ tup le ngim-ah mipite a lunglut theih nadingin kaihkhop, thapiak siam ding hi” ci hi.

Hih a tunga mite genna panin makaite sep ding leh, makai hoihte hihna hong kitel mahmah hi. A tunga mite genna panin makai hoih in –

Tua banah makai hoih in, pawl in haksatna a tuak hun ciangin manlang leh kician takin thukhensatna (decision) bawl siam ding hi. “America President 16thna Abraham Lincoln (1909 – 1865) pen a minthanna tuamtuamte lakah vaihawm siam-in, mi lungsim nasak het lo, leh midangte lungkim nadinga thukhensat a siamna hang hi,” kici hi.

V. Makai hoih hihna tawh kisai i telkhialh theih thu pawl khat om hi. Makai hoih i cih pen:

1. Hihna (position) hi lo : Makai hoih i cih ciangin hihna (position) genna hi lo hi. Makaih a siam mahmah, ahi zongin pawlpi leh organization tuamtuamah dinmun poimawh a luah lo om thei a, tuamah bangin, dinmun poimawh tampi a lente khempeuh zong makai hoih hi khin tuan lo hi.

VI. Makaite puk theihna tampi om a, makai hoih hi dingin hih anuaiate panin kidophuai hi :

1. Kisaktheihna (pride) : Sep le bawlna-ah lawhcinna hang leh makai kum tam sepna hangin kisaktheihna piang thei hi. Makai in kisaktheihna leh kiphatsakna a neih leh, tua in pukna piangsak hi (Pau. 16:18).

2. Minthanna (popularity) : Minthanna pen ahoih mahmah ahih laitakin tua-in kisaktheihna leh hi kisakna piangsak thei a, a hoih lo lamin mihingah nasem thei hi. William Penn in, “Avoid popularity; it has many snares and no real benefits” na ci hi. Meetna pi om lo, thaang (trap/snare) lauhuai mahmah hi thei hi.

3. Lawhsapna (failure) : Mikang te’n, “Lawhsapna pen lawhcinna khuam muanhuai ahi hi (Failure is the pillar of success)” na ci uh hi. Makai te’n makaihna-ah lawhsapna tuak teitei uh a, makai hoih lote pukin, lungkia thei uh hi. Joshua in Ai khua a zawhloh hangin a makai hihna panin kitawp lo hi.

4. Huaihamna (greed) : Amau phattuam nading bek a ngaihsun, a huaiham makai pen makai hoih hi ngei lo hi. Lai Siangtho in huaihamna pen, ‘milim biakna zahin sia’ (Efesa 5:5); ‘Enna leh huaihamna a om nak leh buaina leh siatna nam khempeuh tawh kizom pahpah hi’ (James 3:16) na ci hi. A huaiham makai pen a puk, a kisia makai ahi hi.

6. Lungkiatna (discouragement) : Makai hoihte a lungkia pahpah lote ahi hi. Haksatna leh galte tamna lakah Joshua lungkia lo dingin Topa’n ci hi (Joshua 1:9). Ai khua a zawhloh na panin lungkia lo a paikik dingin Topa’n hilh hi (Joshua 8:1). Cidamlohna, gensiatna, lawhsapna, mipite thadahna, sum haksatna etc. hangin lungkiat theih hi.

7. Gensiatna (criticism) : Leitungah mihingte a paubang lo (perfect) om lo hi. Mi khat in na a sepna gensiat nading a zong teitei pawl om hi.

Mi pawlkhat tua bang gensiatna hangin puk thei hi.

VII. Nungzui :

“Makai hoih peuh leh nungzuih siam lo om ding hiam?” a ci pawl om hi. Ahih hangin hih thu pen maan khin lo hi.

Bang ci bangin nungzui hoih, nungzuih siam hi thei ding hiam cih leh, “Makaite thu zuih siam” ci ziau leng kikhial lo ding hi. Makai ding kiseh buang a, a sehkhiate leh a nungzuite mahin a thu uh i man kei leh kitel/kisehna pen a mawkna suak ding hi. 

Zomite nuntakna-ah makaite mawhpuakna liat mahmah hangin, nungzuite in tawdom siamin, lampi man a tot theih nadingun tha piak siam, zahtak siam kisam mahmah hi. Makaite lawhcina pen nungzuite cihtakna leh kipiakna hang ahi hi.

Thu-um masate nungzuih na siam mahmah uh a, ‘Nungzuite’ kici zawzen hi. Zeisu in a paisan khit ciangin amau a zuite zong cihtakin, makaite zahtak siam uh a, bawlsiatna leh gimna a thuak uh ciangin zong muanhuai-in citak mahmah uh hi.

X. Nungzui hoih hi dingin :

5. Amah pen ni khat ni ciangin makai hi pelmawh ding ahih manin, tua a makaih hun cianga kisamte kisin khol ding hi.

IX. Makaihna le Khristian-na :

Pawlpi leh Christian Organization tuamtuam makaihna pen Kha lam thu ahih manin tua pawl-a makaite pen Kha-lam-makai (Spiritual Leader) hi ding hi. Zogam leh Zomite sungah Pasian nasemte (ministers) leh Upate lakah Kha-lam-makai ahihna uh sangin vaihawm makai (administrative leader) a kisa, na khempeuh a sai nuam, a sai ding peuh a sa pawlkhat om a, pawlpi kilem lai a khenkham leh thusia a bawl zawsop makai a om zel pen awlmawhhuai a, tua bang mite in Pawlpi leh Pasian gam tangzaisak lo bek tham loin, amaute hangin mi tampi in tha kiamna neih lawh zawsop hi.

J. Oswald Sander in makaihna tawh kisai nam nih – Pianpih makai (Natural leaders) leh Kha-mina tawh makai (Spiritual leader) in khen a, hih bangin na genkak (compared) hi :

Natural Leader Spiritual Leader

1 Amah bek kimuang, midangte muang lo hi. 1 Pasian muang a, midangte zong muang hi.

2 Amah bekin thukhensatna(decision) bawl hi. 2 Pasian deihdan ngaihsun kawmin nasem hi.

6 Mi theitel hi. 6 Pasian theitel hi.

7 Sep ding amah leh amah kizonkhia hi. 7 Pasian in sep ding pia hi.

Thukhupna :

Tu hun Zomite nuntakna – innkuan, khua, minam, pawlpi, leh gam sungah buaina tampi a pianna hang pen makaihna leh nungzuihna a kisiamloh man ahi hi. Tua bang a pianna hang tampite lakah makaite leh nungzuite pen ‘Pasian seh’ ahihna i theihcianloh man ahi hi. Makai pawlkhat in Pasian seh ahihna thei loin amau pilna, amau thu bek suang thei uh a, pawlkhatte leuleu in ahihna uh a thupina phawk loin omsan maimai thei uh hi. Zomi Khristiante sungah buaina tampen in makai kituhna hi a, tua pen makai siam, makai hoih a tamloh man ahi hi. Makai siam, makai cingte in makai hihna pen ut masa lo uh a, ahih hangin amau tungah tua mawhpuakna kisuan pen zo takin semkhia-in, makai kum tam sepna sangin nasepkhiatte (achievements) thupi ngaihsutzaw uh hi. Makai siam le nungzuih hoih hi dingin Pasian zahtak a, haksat hun leh nop hunah ki-uap, thu kimanna, kithutuahna, sepkhopna, ki-itna, kikhualna, thudik thuman tawh kimakaihna, leh cihtakna kisam mahmah hi.
