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.

I knew Jiajun when I was in NTU and I always see him as a person with great personality and passion. My financial portfolio was not comprehensive before I met him and I didn't know how to manage it well. As my financial consultant, he had provided great advice and guidance to me. Now, I can safely said that with his help, I can be rest assured that my portfolio is well planned and I fully concentrate on living a fulfilling life without having any worries. The best thing about jiajun is that he always give you a warm and friendly feeling which allows you to trust him for his service. I strongly believe that he will not just be the best person to manage your portfolio but also a great friend to have.

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.

Angela. Accountant.

I enjoyed the sharing process by Ellie which gives me an overview of the types of protection one needs to secure over a lifetime. I like that Ellie reviewed my existing policies and assessed the shortfalls that I may have and recommended me policies that are beneficial to me :) She is also very detailed and explained in depth into the different policies that she recommended to ensure that I understand what I am getting out of it. She gave me a sense of assurance of what I am being protected against which is very important to me.

Soe Min. Airforce Engineer. RSAF.

I have known JJ since his RSAF days. He was my superior and one who never fails to take care of his subordinates. Sometimes even to the point of going beyond his duty. His diligence and dedication in this profession has convinced me to take up certain plans. He is knowledgeable, approachable and very patient. He listens and does his utmost best to find the suitable policy to meet my needs. I will definitely recommend him to my friends who needs financial advice as he is not a hard seller but someone who serves wholeheartedly.

Quek Jiaxing. UIUX Developer.

I have known Ellie for over 15 years and can vouch for her professionalism, integrity, and genuine nature. Ellie's exceptional ability to simplify complex concepts has been invaluable to me. Recently, she helped me navigate the complexities of financial plans, breaking down intricate concepts into digestible information. Her assistance helped me better understand my existing plans and explore suitable alternatives, leading to a better decision making process. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Ellie for her expertise and unwavering dedication to serving others with excellence!

Farid and Shaheila Family. Sales Executive & Teacher.

We got acquainted with Rion through his father, a family friend. His forthcoming and approachable nature makes it very easy for us to ask him questions on insurance and policies, no matter how simple or silly they may be. He’s very professional when it comes to explaining the different jargons, yet he explains them in layman terms which makes it easier for us to understand. When my husband was hospitalised, he made time to pop by for a chat, which goes to show that he goes beyond his call of duty as an insurance agent. He makes time and effort to get to know us better such that we don’t think of him as just our agent, but as a friend. Thank you Rion. For being a great agent, and an even better friend.
