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.

Hazim. Engineer. SMRT.

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 😊
