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.

Vikram. Technician. Pratt & Whitney.

A good and trust worthy Insurance consultant, I would say he gives his 100% knowledge about the insurance policy which he proposes to his client. I would recommend him to others for his genuine service.

Ryan Lau. Senior Executive. Marina Bay Sands.

It was by chance that I met Rion at one of his roadshows. As it turns out, it is a necessary meeting for me personally. Prior to meeting Rion, I was not protected in any way, shape or form; i was completely contented with life just like that. However, Rion made me see the importance of being protected through his experiences at Prudential. Not only has he been extremely patient with my never-ending questions, but he is well equipped with the knowledge and solutions for my situation. I can honestly say that even though we have only came to know of each other for a few months, i can confidently say that i can whole heartedly trust his advice, as i have not only gained a sincere and honest financial consultant, but also a great friend.

Jennifer. Sales Manager. Watsons.

I would like to thank Rion for helping me to fight for my insurance rights. Although i didn't buy any insurance under him. But he is so kind to help me fight back for the premium that I paid to insurance and even bring the cheque to my house for me. He is such a nice guy. Will recommend him to my friends and family.

Alvin Toh.Finance Trader.ALV Financial Pte Ltd.

Jia Jun has been a close friend of mine for 17 years. Before he became a financial consultant, I knew little about financial planning. I had the most basic of life insurance plans and all my savings were in either self-chosen stocks or the bank. It was a tedious process choosing the right assets to buy and timing the market right and it would have been better to allocate some of my assets to a more passive form of investment. Jia Jun helped me upgrade my insurance for a more extensive coverage. He also helped me in choosing my investment plans, meticulously explaining every detail and nuance between the many different plans out there. Jia Jun is very professional and dedicated to his job and helping his clients. When i injured my eye in an accident, he took care of everything. He helped me with the filing of my report and I just had to hand him the receipts for my medical bills and everything was settled quickly. With him as my financial planner, I have a peace of mind knowing I can call on him anytime I have queries about insurance and financial planning matters.
