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.

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.

Steven is an amazing agent with great character. He is professional, a good listener, extremely patient and trustworthy. It's his personal touch that sets him apart from others. He would put in extra effort to get to know me and my family personally so that he can offer us the products and coverages that specifically suit our needs and budget. He is very helpful and always available to answer any questions or make any changes regarding my policies. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a professional who takes his work seriously.

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.
