| 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. | |  | | Lye Seng Kai, Executive Director, Totex International Limited Steven has been my family insurance and financial adviser for more than a decade and the level of service, knowledge and professionalism we received from him is unparalleled.
He is attentive to details and very patient to take the extra miles to explain the different options and make excellent recommendations to my family so we can have an all rounded coverage.
His service is customized and very personal especially to one that is unfamiliar with the insurance procedure. I’m convinced through the years that he is not out to make quick and easy money but always has our interest in his mind.
Unlike some others who try to push their policies to you, he lets you decide at your own pace.
Thank you very much for the great service, Steven.
| |  | | Loh Soi Min I bought a simple Travel Insurance from Steven as I was going on a Everest Base Camp trek.
I was totally impressed by the level of commitment and service provided. I had to be evacuated on the way down after a fall. As we had to contact AIG for approval for the medical evacuation, I messaged Steven and his response to my questions were quite immediate, giving me the necessary numbers and items claimable each time a message is sent.
This no doubt helped me to get the necessary approvals quickly and I was evacuated within 24 hours. For a small value policy, Steven has shown that he has his clients' interests at heart and can be trusted fully. He is definitely someone whom I would consider as my financial adviser. | |  | | Stella Poh, Executive Secretary Hup Soon Global Corporation Pte Ltd My first policy was bought from Steven, 20 years ago. I think the most important thing is having a responsible and reliable agent to be in the same trade and Company is not an easy thing. However, I am glad that he is still in the industry working and servicing my policies. Steven knows his work well and is willing to give valuable advice on what is needed.
It is not just selling policy to his clients. Instead, he treated his clients as friends and this make the working relationship merrier. | |  | | 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. | |  | | Erica Steven is the most trustworthy, professional, passionate, and friendly agent I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
He’s detail-oriented, responsive and always go the extra mile to take care of his customers’ interest and needs.
I truly appreciate his wonderful service and would highly recommend Steven to anyone without hesitation! | |  | | Vicky Chua Steven was introduced to me by my good friend. Other than polices bought when I was a child, Steven handles all my policies.
I trust in his professionalism, and in his advice with regards to policies that I may need or may be interested during different phases in my life. He does not sell policies for the sake of selling, but truly wishes that his clients are adequately protected so that they can enjoy life without medical or retirement worries.
Over the years, he has become more than just an insurance agent. He is someone I can call upon in times of need.
Thanks for being there for me and Kenzo 🐶.
