As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them. | World’s richest man says highly intelligent people do this one thing To Amazon billionaire and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, this phrase is extremely true. He believes one single trait distinguishes highly intelligent people from all over people: the ability to reassess and change their minds. | Investing and the Danger of Confirmation Bias Sound advice on how we should be aware of the dangers of confirmation bias in finances and how we can approach investing responsibly. | Why you think you're right — even if you're wrong by Julia Galef | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

I value independent, unbiased advice, and I had long sessions with him sharing on my needs, his understanding, the different products he could offer and so on, and I eventually decided to entrust him with part of my financial planning.
Thank you Steven for offering good and neutral advice, that makes a difference. I know I am in good hands now. | | | Jane Law Steven is very professional, patient and helpful.
He is tireless. Always willing to explain and answer questions pertaining to my queries and claims.
Steven treats his clients like good friends, always go that extra mile when help is needed most.
Really appreciate your friendship.
Thumbs up to Steven! | | | Nicole Lee, Scotiabank, Accountant Thank you for the service and help you’ve rendered all these years.
One of the more detail-oriented and responsive insurance professionals I’ve come across.
Professional, prompt in response and unfailingly diligent. Steven has been a trusted and reliable source of knowledge, quick to help customers like myself navigate the complex and fairly technical aspects of the insurance claims process. This has freed up my time and lessened my worries when it comes to the tedious administrative burden – truly appreciated! | | | Jasmine Song, Director Victorious Arts Pte Ltd 很高兴能够认识Steven。能够让他为我的人生做一个好好规划也是我的荣幸! 当我孩子发生交通事故,遇到关于保险问题时,他都能够在第一时间出来为我解决一切关于保险问题,专业负责的态度让我非常感动!
衷心祝愿Steven新年快乐!幸福吉祥! | | | Pak-Tjun Chin I got to know Steven through a mutual friend back in Nov-2019. Being a foreigner new to Singapore, Steven warmly welcomed me into his weekly hiking sessions at Bt Timah Forest Reserve. Since then, we have been religiously 'conquering' Bt Timah hill. More recently, we even extended our hike to start from MacRitchie Reservoir. Steven's motto is 'What is impossible today, will become warm-up tomorrow', and he truly believes in this!
Separately, I have also grown to trust Steven with my insurance needs. Being new and alone in Singapore, I knew that having appropriate insurance coverage is paramount. Steven was very detailed and thorough in his briefing sessions and provided me coverage options that suited my needs. No pushy sales or pressure. I would strongly recommend Steven to anyone looking for an experienced, authentic and straight-taking insurance advisor. | | | Alan Teoh Steven was introduced to me by my close NS friend, Paul.
We met through the mutual interest of cycling and trying to keep fit and healthy.
It was through a mutual cycling trip to Japan in April this year that we got to know each other better and where our friendship blossomed.
You can suss out a character of a person when you have to eat and share a room together 😊
Through this memorable trip and many more cycling excursions, he has shown to be dependable, trustworthy, witty and knowledgeable.
I have come to regard him first as a friend, then my insurance agent.
Steven does not sell policies for the sake of earning a commission, but he gets to know his clients first and then recommend policies that are suited for them during that particular stage of their life.
There was no pressure at any time and I felt that the whole policy transaction process was smooth and done very professionally.
I have no hesitation to recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional financial adviser to meet their needs.
