A woman who dedicates her life to work for others.

Live for Others
By Little Wish

Warming smile with modest gesture is the way Mrs Jiranun Sakultangphaisal greeting. A 45 year old woman, who dedicated her life to work for society and the people. She was recently awarded as one of Thailand's 100 Leading women by HRH Princess Somsavali.

“I think if all the people are caring and loving, this world would be a better place for us all to live”, said Mrs Jiranun. “Just start from your little circle, and extending it to the community. What we do will be beneficial to ourselves, our surroundings, and would hopefully lead to a cease in problems in society.”

She is a Board of Directors of the Thai Catholic Commission for Women, the Chairman of the Parish Council, Local Governmental Corporation Committee, Board of Directors of Bangkok Opera Foundation.

She said that every social works she is doing are varied and she is happy to be part of helping people in different ways.

While she was giving an interview, there were at least 3 phone calls to her. She told that everyday there will be many persons; friends, colleagues, and her workers call for life advice and even talks of Dharma. She told that even she is a catholic but she think Dharma is the best way that can lead people out from sorrow.

Everyone who knows her would know that before she decided to work for the society and the people, she was a famous business woman in Northeastern of Thailand. She was an owner of two biggest shopping malls in Nongkhai.

She said that while she was a business woman, her life was so busy. She did not have time for others even her family. But after the economic recession in 1997, which affected her business a lot, so she began to think of others.

“I faced many harsh problems at that time, I was so depressed that I did not know what to do,” said Mrs Jiranun Sakultangphaisal. “It was of family that reminded me that money is not as important as time I could give to them. And what would the society be like if everyone only thinks about themselves and money. That was what inspired me to ‘live for others’.”

  3. I like the last word:
    "Live for others".
    How long we all hv been thinkin bout ourselves
    while this called-home place gettin worse, Im not sure.
    I've tried, hopelessly, to find reasons for living in this declining world.
    Now I think Living for others is a good one.
    Thx

  4. I think she is one of many women who choose for "live for others" more than choose for herself.
    So, she makes me feel good and want to do something to other people if I have a chance!

  9. She proves that even she's a mother and a working woman, she's still success in her work. I also notice that she has so much power and influence to the others, especially for her children.
