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.

Christine, Business Owner

Steven has been our family insurance agent for the past few years. Not only he's very professional and knowledgable with our portfolios, he is also helpful and did an extra mile to assist and advice when we needed help for our other families member's policies. We have a peace of mind to have Steven as our agent as we know he is always there when we needed him. Thank you Steven !

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.

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!

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 Thng, Manager DEFCON MARKETING AND ENGINEERING PTE LTD

I know Steven through my brother. I have never expected nor believed that I can find an insurance agent who is both helpful and able to provide me with sound advice to my insurance needs until I knew him. He is very patient and able to provide very clear information to us. He is always so helpful whenever my family and myself need any advice or clarification on our insurance matters even when those policies were not bought from him. Thank you Steven!
