The Gift of Paying It Forward

When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude. The concept of "Paying It Forward" is nothing new, but in our world, I believe we could do with more compassion and selflessness as it brings out the best in us.

The Art of Paying it Forward Without Spending a Dime

When we pay it forward we commit an act of selflessness that transcends our connection to other humans on the planet, elevating the human experience in a positive way. Whether it’s a showing of kindness, faith, or even compassion, it all makes a difference and can potentially trigger a chain reaction of reciprocated behavior.

The Power of Altruism

Classical economics adopts a model that says people are primarily driven by material self-interest. Political science assumes that people are driven to maximize their power. But this worldview is clearly wrong. In real life, the push of selfishness is matched by the pull of empathy and altruism. This is not Hallmark card sentimentalism but scientific fact: As babies our neural connections are built by love and care. We have evolved to be really good at cooperation and empathy. We are strongly motivated to teach and help others.

Marcus. Programmer. Ubi Soft Company.

Jasper is a highly motivated individual and he demonstrated a great work ethic. He explained the reasons and motivations of getting each policy with considerations of my current well being and financial condition meticulously. He is responsive to any enquiries, feedback or changes in the policies. I believe he is a valuable consultant to any who is unfamiliar with insurance and finance.

I have known Jia Jun since he was a regular in the Republic of Singapore Airforce. He had been my financial consultant since 2015, after he left the RSAF to join Prudential. Always glad and delighted that Jia Jun is able to provide me with sound financial advice. What really impresses me was how he always put his client first, taking the time to understand his client needs and also to explain the various financial tools and clarify any financial jargon. Jia Jun is a passionate and highly motivated individual about what he is doing and i will definitely recommend him to people who need financial advice. Keep up the good work and continue to provide client centric services to people.

Thanks for playing the dual role of a wonderful friend and a dedicated financial planner! I’ve never encountered such sincere and honest planner before and I’m glad I did now. Seriously, your dedication to serve is admirable! All the best!

Yong Le. Accountant. ExxonMobil

Got to know Jia Jun through NS. Went through several consultations before purchasing a whole life insurance policy with JJ. Throughout the discussions and consultations, JJ never push for any sales, but really tried to understand my needs, and tried to tailor the suggestions and recommendations to my needs. At no time did I feel pressurised to purchase from him. Very client-centric, JJ will only recommend policies that he believes is beneficial to you, nothing more. If you are not interested, he is open to you to not purchase any of the policy. I have no doubt that he will be a good agent to have, and will help you to plan for what you need, and nothing more than what is necessary for your financial plans.
