It is indeed true that we all get to get lemons in our hands at some point in life. What you make out of them depends on you. To some, lemons may be the best ever fruit they could wish for and it would bring all sorts of happiness knowing it is what they have desired for . While others would just throw the lemons away without knowing what to do with them, Davis Kasenza chose to be different. Despite that lemons werent his favourite. Davis held on to the lemons that ended up on his laps some few years ago and made a very famous and apeasing lemonade out of it. Most of us would wonder what sort of lemonade Davis made and what lemons are we talking about. Well to begin with, The lemons that Davis had is simply the opportunities that each one of us get at a set time and his lemonade falls under the brand of Davina Furniture.

Growing up as a young boy, Davis desired to be an accountant.To him accounting was a family thing and somehow, he felt he could inherit that special accountint gene that ran through in the family.Davis worked hard in school with a dream of being an accountant some day.He spent his secondary years at William Murray still dreaming along the realms of accountancy.Little did he know that 2005 would be a year to sing a different hymn from the usual accounting song. Upon graduating from William Murray, Davis was selected to go to the University of Malawi, the Polytechnique to study Technical education, To him it was like he was granted a bitter fruit, he felt like lemons were thrown on his laps. This program never crossed his mind. Imagining the diversion he had to take from his family influenced childhood dream, one could tell that it was not as easy as it may sound for Davis to accept joining Technical Education and leave his dream career. Regardless of all the options that were available for Davis to still pursue accounting at any of the available private Universities, He decided to challenge himself and venture into a new career that was offered to him.

To some people, technical education was not a career worth spending four years on, simply because the majority of Malawians have related Furniture making to low and average brains who often fail to make it to university.Davis's charisma prooved different as his four years of University paints a different picture of technical education and embraces the begining of entrpreunuship and continous flow of money as well as maximum use of the brain to come up with unique and special designs on different furniture. Graduationg in 2008, Davis began his career as a lecturer at Lilongwe Technical college where he has shaped multitudes of youths in wood and metal works. As he taught  at Lilongwe Technical college, Davis felt like he still held the lemmon that was just cut in half but not squeezed yet to make his lemonade. It was untill 2011 when Davis began squeezing the lemon juice and came up with his best lemonade. He entered into the entreprenueship with the name DAVINA as he set his own furniture bussiness in the premises of Lilongwe.Today, Davis is one of the successful young men in Malawi who has made his home in Lilongwe FALLS Area an office and factory for his beautiful furniture that is shining in many of the homes in Malawi from Nsanje to Chitipa to Mzuzu, Lilongwe, Blantyre and you name it.  As of today, Davis has managed to employ more than 2o youths in his bussiness and is still growing.

Now, what is special about Davis that most people can learn from? Well Davis has one answer for that as he says "we all dream, and our dreams are often in colors,sometimes we land to our dreams when the colors aint exactly the same as those we had seen, perharps because we just never knew they exist ,but still its a dream that has come with color and its time to get to know the color and see how it can be blended to shine, what matters is how you choose to handle the color. You can blend it or refuse to have it existing completely. It all depends on you.I brightened my colors as i blended it and here I am today living my dream that keeps growing each day.
