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.

Pei Shan. Micron Company Singapore.

When I first started working, I knew that insurance was something I wanted to get settled as soon as possible. It wasn't easy, however, trying to find the policy that best fitted my needs. Thankfully, I already knew Rion, and the way he helped to break down all of the facts into digestible bits helped me greatly in understanding what I needed. As a person, Rion is really helpful and responsive, always willing to go the extra mile, and I feel more relaxed now knowing that my portfolio is in capable hands.

Shaun Teoh.Global Strategist.Samsung Global Strategy Group.

JJ is a great friend and financial consultant. He provides unbiased consultation with my family's best interest at heart. Most importantly he adds a personal touch in all his interactions with us, differentiating himself from other financial professionals I have interacted with.

Hazim. Engineer. SMRT.

Rion wasn't the 'pushy consultant' as i thought it would be. He took time to explain everything in details and answering to all my enqiries. He would also update me on any new info regarding the policies via whatsapp. I would happily recommend him to my friends if they every need his quality service. I'm glad that i met him 😊

Kai Hong. IT Engineer.

I am writing this testimonial for Tan Jin Wei. He was very detailed in explaining the policy to me. To my surprise, during the financial assessment he did a very detailed calculation for me. Which I can say no financial consultant will include a monthly assessment of your financial situation with debt and without debt. Most of them will only assess the annually calculation and does not consider whether each month will you be able to afford the premium of the insurance you are paying for. Due to that I have transferred my current policies from prudential to him to manage. In the near future I am intending to manage my new policy as well as he really is a trusted financial consultant that look after my well being.

May Cheah

With this letter, I'm writing to thank you and appreciate on all insurance knowledge you have provided to me and would like to take this opportunity to thank Jasper Teo from Prudential Singapore. First of all, I'm so in touch with Jasper's professional and advisory services, as when i was admitted into hospital, he came all the way down and visited me and assist me with all the insurance claims.
