Ngaphezulu kweendlela ezimbalwa ezihamba phambili ezihamba phambili ziyazi ukuba yintoni inkonzo enkulu. Akunqabile kodwa kubalulekile.
Rarer namanje: ukukwazi ukubonisa oku kubalulekileyo kubasebenzi benkonzo yeehotele. Le ngingqi ye-Eric Weiss. Uhamba ngehlabathi njengomcebisi wenkonzo.
Ngamazwi ka-Eric, " Inkonzo enkulu ithetha ukudibanisa nabantu ngabanye ngokungathi ngaba yedwa umntu ehlabathini, kwaye wenza ngendlela engenanto."
