Quiet achiever

We often enjoy reading and being fascinated with the world of the rich – let’s face it, it tends to be a guilty indulgence for most of us. To read about Blair Parry-Okeden ( The Truth About Australia’s Richest Woman, WW, June), a billionaire who uses her wealth not only to help others but insisting on keeping a low profile, brings her generous spirit to the next level. She presents a lesson to all that public recognition for good deeds is not what it’s about, as so many want ahead of everything else. From her story, we can find the real meaning of giving and use it in our own lives.
