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.

Theng Soo Ting

I met Steven many years ago and have seen him grown into a highly successful professional because he believed in his cause. He is highly diligent, humble and caring. He also later became my family insurance consultant and a family friend. Steven is highly professional and his belief on why he is in the profession resonates with me, the reason why I trust him completely and will not hesitate to take his advice as I know it will be to my family’s interest. He is contactable wherever he is and his level of commitment to clients is indeed commendable. Never once have I doubted that he will respond swiftly whenever I have a difficult question for him – and he always will have an answer almost instantaneously.

Iris Ang, Group CFO

Steven is a very professional and patient insurance consultant who takes pride in providing his best effort advices to his clients.

Tomas A Norton

Steven has been serving our family very well for over two decades with savings, life, health and accident policies. Over this time, his attention and care has been first class. Thankfully we invested early via Steven and the entire family is now sitting on valuable policies with high cash values. They represent a solid foundation for retirement and an excellent head start in saving and coverage for our two children. I expect our relationship with Steven to continue. We are most pleased.

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. 👍🏼👍🏼

Frederic

Steven became my trusted agent recently, and after a long process on my side. 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.

Legal & Claims Manager AAL Shipping

Steven was recommended to me by a work colleague, when I moved to Singapore about 2 years ago. Admittedly, before meeting Steven, I had trouble finding an insurance consultant that was able to provide me with, what I believed to be, good unbiased advice. His friendly approach and knowledge of the insurance terms convinced me to work with Steven straight away. Steven is very professional and always on hand to assist with any of my enquiries. His attention to detail is a great asset and he will go beyond the call of duty to help his clients. Most importantly, having Steven take care of my insurance needs gave me peace of mind which is something I cherish dearly. You know you are in good hands with Steven! Robert Voelzer
