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.

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.
