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.

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.

Rion is a knowledgeable and trustworthy friend and consultant whom I'll gladly trust to handle my financial planning needs. I first met Rion a couple of years back and I recall him as an outgoing and extremely passionate financial planner. He shared with me his humble beginnings as an engineer before deciding to make an impact in the lives he comes across via proper and comprehensive financial planning. He was concise and thorough in pointing out the areas of my financial planning shortfalls and addressed them to the best of his ability in spite of my limited budget. Despite his busy schedule, he has proactively made the effort to catch up with me and assist with my insurance nominations which I have neglected. I am glad to see him firmly established in his noble profession, touched by the lives he has helped and saved with insurance claims and I have no doubt he will deliver should the need arises, touch wood! Jiayou bro! May you strive to impact and better people's financial health!
