How important is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


King Midas of Phrygia was granted by the Gods the
power to turn everything he touched into gold.
Unfortunately, this meant his food, his wine and even
his daughter became gold within a short time.
Luckily the Gods relented before he died of
starvation, but he had learnt a valuable lesson; there
are more important things in life than gold. A lot of
people nowadays don\u2019t seem to have noticed. They
pursue wealth as if it is the answer to everything. Do
I understand that money is not the answer to all my
problems?
American Billionaire Chuck Feeney gave away all
his eight-billion-dollar fortune, living his last days in
a rented apartment, owning just one pair of shoes.
He was influenced by early twentieth century
benefactor Andrew Carnegie\u2019s dictum: To die rich is
to die disgraced. His message to other billionaires
thinking of giving while living was: Try it, you\u2019ll like
it. Today I ask to remember that by giving, I will
receive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
