Mindset Of Greatness’ Earns Mandindi More Recognitions
“The Mindset of Greatness inspires us to move forward, no going back, the way life pushes us down is unchangeable, but how we respond to it is what truly makes a difference”
Allan Mandindi Banda writes about how he made his vision a well-attained victory, despite what people thought, and where he came from.
The author of the book, Mindset of Greatness clearly pointing out that we can all become warriors of greatness, no matter what we have recovered from or how distorted we may feel to be and no matter how wrecked or cracked our vessel is, but contains greatness.
Stating the vessel as used by God to create disciples that follow reoccurring deeds of what’s good that do not just bury our knowledge, but share it, so that others can use a powerful tool, they thought they never had – wisdom describing it as a principal element of understanding. – (Proverbs 4:7)
And it is for this reason now that Mandindi felt a great and humbling moment to be invited at the beginning of a ‘Black History Month’ to speak to kids at assembly at a local school where he is a governor.
“Kids were very much interested to hear about my book, community work, my time in the army and my role in the council,” narrated the overwhelmed Mandindi.
In his address, he encouraged little ones to live a life full of success and happiness while making it what one wants it to be, so that as the youth of this generation do not have to dread what’s to come knowing their abilities and strengths.
“Do not sabotage your life by preventing the ‘impossible’ it is certainly possible when you put your mind of greatness to work,” he stressed.
Throughout his sermon, the Mindset of Greatness champion kept on making references from his latest book earning him huge respect from scholars and the greater community of the academia still being accessed on Amazon, I just got mine, a great book to read and well done Sir Allan Mandindi Banda, more grace upon your life.
In July last year, 2021 on 9th September to be precise, the African Business Chamber (AfBC) got delighted in confirming that Mandindi, the Director for Malawi Heritage-UK, Neighbourhood Officer Citywide, Manchester City Council and Receiver of Manchester Peace Award 2020 be the guest speaker during the virtual AfBC – Manchester African Business Forum.
Speaking to this Publication in a separate interview, he simply gave this advice “I did put this up big just to remind the children in my village that no matter what they can make it, if they wish to stating that i was once rejected from the University of Malawi but never stopped dreaming of attaining higher education. If i can, they can too. Never allow situations discourage you from progressing, we all have our season. What might be summer to someone is winter to somebody, just wait for the right time”
Mandindi also revealed that he went to the United Kingdom in March 2003 and landed in Manchester Moss side straight from Malawi on his own with just a small bag and it’s been 19 years while in Manchester which is now his home.
It is for the noble tasks in society that In July 2020 he was also nominated by Lw A Li to do 25 push-ups for 25 days, a challenge aimed at raising awareness on issues of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) the common anxiety and depression that drives people into committing suicide.
However, one of Mandindi’s saddest moment was when he got tormented by the novel global pandemic, Covid-19 during its early stages right in the UK whose experience was pathetic.
His wife too who is a frontline worker at the hospital also got it after Christmas the same year and it was sad seeing her deteriorating quickly, failing to breathe and on new years eve ended up at the hospital, but thank God she recovered although they missed that year’s New year’s Eve celebrations.
