Chairperson’s
Message:
When I was 8 years old, I was captured by the meaningfulness
of Sam Hui’s lyrics in his song “浪子心聲” . To paraphrase these
lyrics and translate them into English, the lyrics indicate that
in order to attain happiness, one should have a pure heart —
righteous and kind — and do many good and charitable deeds.
The lyrics were embedded deeply into my heart and I have thus
made these words the motto of my life.
I believe that we should not only live lives that are righteous
and pure, we should also have a loving heart and a charitable
spirit. There are millions of less fortunate people that I can
help because I have been blessed richly. Hence, I always tell
myself that besides being a dutifully wife to my husband, a loving
mother to my sons and a filial child to both sets of parents,
I must make my life count and light up the lives of others who
have less.
Family, to me, is very important. To be able to be with the
man that I love till death do us part, to love and to hold each
other in each other’s arms, to trust and to support one another,
to tour around the world with him, to bear him the fruits of
our love, to have a huge family living together in harmony, joy
and love, to have laughter fill the halls of my house — is an
ideal home to me, something that I hope to achieve.
People are drawn to diamonds because of their shiny and beautiful
exterior and its ever-enduring nature. Thus we celebrate love
with diamonds : to celebrate the enduring nature of love eternal
and the magical and beautiful aspect of love.
Life is not all a bed of roses and we should face our challenges
with sagacity and courage. Only then can we achieve a better,
more meaningful and brighter future.
Noble Purple is but a small part of my life — A means to my
goal. Through this business venture, I hope to bring to our
society more warmth and contribution and help those truly in
need.
Our lives are like gems. When we do more charitable deeds,
we add more “shine” to our lives. Just like how a gem can complement
its owner adding on to her elegance and personality as she dresses
up to respect the appropriateness of the event, our charitable
acts can also add lustre to our lives and personalities.
My intention behind setting up Noble Purple Jewellery is to
utilise the profits gained from this business to help the less
fortunate and needy. Noble Purple Jewellery was set up to give
the world a bit more warmth.
I believe the sky is the limit when it comes to the pursuit
of knowledge. Knowledge enables one to help another with their
problems and bring them joy in return. Being an optimistic person,
I hope to bring this joy to those around me also embracing everyday’s
challenges with joy, confidence and optimism makes life more
whole, more complete.
Life is not just about fulfilling responsibilities but is about
living it “right”. It should be filled with love, care for others
and a contribution to society. In order to nurture the next
generation, we should first be role models for them to look up
to. We should first learn to be people of character and culture
and be people with great personalities. These, added with care
and concern for our future generations, are “ingredients” to
making a world a better place.
Noble Purple Holdings has set up a fund to help the needy and
less fortunate and I truly hope through this, many of them can
benefit from it.
May this world be filled with love and joy, peace and harmony.
Noble Purple Holdings is just a partaker of this mission to make
the world a better place.
My wish for the future is to continue to help others. As I
love children, I hope to raise a family — the size of football
team — with the man I love and continue to contribute to the
society.
