| 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. | | The Paying it Forward Paradox | Wayne Baker | TEDxUofM  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

© Steven Sit Poh Sang, All rights reserved. | |  | | Carol Chua Foo, Adjunct Lecturer, Republic Polytechinc Steven has been a true professional in handling my family's insurance and financial planning needs.
In the last 2 years, we had 2 accidents with our children and desperately turned to Steven for assistance. During both occasions, he was there to assist us throughout the journey, accessible at all hours of the day and provided us professional guidance and advice.
Most importantly, he showed genuine care and concern. I guess at the end of the day, such authentic and genuine display of human emotions are the key reasons why we have been his clients since 1990s. | |  | | Edmund Chua Deputy Director DSTA My family have known Steven for many years. He is a trusted friend who has walked along with us , seen our children grow along the years.
As a professional, he listens, advises and provides consultation calibrated to our family needs. He is diligent and always prompt in processing our claims.
Thank you Steven for being there whenever we call and I look forward to your support for many years more to come. | |  | | Ching Eng This is a long overdue note to a fantastic individual.
I know Mr Steven Sit for more than 20 years when we were both in same military NS unit. He was already in the early success then and he led an extravagant lifestyle at that time.
Therefore it was not surprising that he barely made it in the annual fitness assessment and I remembered laughing at him sarcastically.
Well, he has since transformed into a big enthusiast in wellness activities (ask him for the pic full of run event medals) and more importantly, with a transformed personality.
Through the engagements at personal and financial planning levels, Steven is always a call or a text away. He is passionate in life and always shared the best and relevant products with those he connects. There is no selling, just sharing.
In a complex situation, I remembered telling him I shall take it up with his management as I fully aware it was beyond him but he still represented me to escalate till a closure.
Steven’s transformation is an inspiring and good learning model to me. I have benefitted a lot by applying his philosophy of “Law of Attraction”
Have a chat with Steven! He is my friend, my life coach and by the way - he is my financial advisor!
Thanks Steven! | |  | | Siok Hock, your fellow Signaller/ Friend/ Buddy I vividly remembered the moment sometime in May 1993, when I was first introduced to you in amongst all the trucks and other fellow servicemen and especially those in your command.
When you spoke to them, I sensed your care for them without compromising your task. When your guys echoed their "Yes, Sir", I felt their confidence in your leadership.
29 years later and that's now, I am very happy that I have got a friend in you and you as my trusted advisor for insurance, investment, and retirement matters. I am glad that with your advise on all matters, I will be comfortable and even healthy to enjoy my years ahead and with you as my fellow Signaller/ Friend / Buddy.
Thank you, Steven. | |  | | 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.
| |  | | Michelle Ong, Business Owner I’ve known Steven for over 10 years and he is truly one of the more genuine agents I have come to know.
He will always put his clients interests before his own as he offers his professional advice base on what the client needs and never for his personal gains only.
He cares for his clients and always makes a point to set appointment at the clients’ convenience. The special efforts he is willing to put in for his clients is something you certainly don’t get to see everyday.
Steven is not just a good agent, he has also become a good friend. He is always encouraging his clients to have a healthy and balance lifestyle, choosing to bond over a glass of wine occasionally.
I will definitely recommend Steven to anyone who’s looking for someone who goes beyond his call of duty and cares genuinely as a friend. 👍🏼👍🏼 | | | | |
