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.

We quickly become close colleagues and later, good friends.
I have known her for 15years and that’s how long she has been handling my financial planning. From the time I was single till now (Mum of 2), I have trusted Hai Lih with all my insurance needs. She handles the policies for my kids, my parents and even my brother and his family.
I can always count on Hai Lih to recommend the best options for me, as my interest is her top priority. Whenever I need help (even if it’s not insurance related), she is always ready to lend a hand or give advice.
I have a peace of mind knowing that Hai Lih will take care of all my insurance needs. I have recommended Hai Lih to many friends and colleagues and I will definitely continue to do so. | | | Asilah, Teacher Hai Lih took over as my financial advisor 9 years ago. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive at that time as I was unsure if we would have the chemistry. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she is a sincere and passionate advisor who tries her best to tailor to my needs. I never felt pressured during our meetings when she patiently goes through the details of the plans with me. In fact, because of our shared interests (cats!), our consultations really feel like a casual catch-up with a long-time friend.
