The Gift of Paying It Forward

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.

I have come across many financial and insurance advisors who fade away after time. So much so that when you are in need, they can’t be found. Steven on the other hand is a person who is dependable. He is an energetic person with trustworthy character. He is always attentive and prompt. Never failed to answer phone calls or respond texts even when he is on holiday. Thank you Steven, for helping on my sister’s case. She would have a lot more to worry about if it is not for you. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for quality advice and impeccable customer service.

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.

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.
