| 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.

Other than that, she would also recommend products that she feels would benefit me a lot, and that is what the experience has been so far, which I feel is valuable as a customer to understand what else I am lacking in terms of protection and investments. | |  | | Alan,. Finance VP I have met numerous insurance agents in my working life so far (including friends and referrals), and Wendy is one who stood out from the rest for me. She is professional and advises well, and not once did I feel she was pushy in selling any policies to me.
I first got to know her through a marketing call from her many years ago, and despite not purchasing any policy from her initially (as I was adequately insured at that time), she followed up with me over the years, understanding my needs at every point of the time and displayed utmost patience in updating me of any latest products that might be of interest to me.
One quality I appreciated about Wendy is how she's able to see through my lens and analyse my decision-making. That is why I knew I wanted to engage Wendy when I decided to increase my medical coverage and also make some financial planning (bought new policies from her in 2023 and 2024). Really appreciate her sincerity! | |  | | Paulyn Y,. Clinic Assistant She has always been there!
I decided to go with Wendy as my FC because I fully trust that she can do her job well and ensuring me with all the info and protections I need.
So far my journey with her is smooth and whenever I have an enquiry, she never fails to get back to me.
I feel ensured that she is always there to help me and fill me in. | |  | | Anqi,. Customer Service Officer Wendy was patient and helpful in explaining to me the financial planning process. She told me that it is important to plan ahead for the future by starting early, especially when we are healthy. I like that her explanations are clear and easy to understand. Hence, I have chosen her to be my financial consultant. | |  | | Archille,. Automation Engineer I came to know Wendy through a family recommendation. When we met to discuss more on the policies, she did not immediately go straight to talk about what she has to offer, instead, I was impressed by how she was more keen to want to understand me first in terms of my current financial situation and my future plans ahead.
With that better understanding in mind, Wendy recommended options that would best benefit me the most and would still suit my financial capacity. Through our conversation, I could tell Wendy is very experienced in her field and I enjoyed how she was candid about sharing her personal experiences and knowledge on finance which I also learnt a lot from.
Overall, I could see why my family member strongly recommended me to her and I'm glad to have chosen Wendy to guide me in my lifelong financial journey. Thank you, Wendy! | |  | | Jiayin,. Admin Executive I got to know Wendy through my spouse, and my first impression of her was friendly, bubbly, and yet she has the professional knowledge to be able to answer my questions relating to insurance and provide suitable recommendations.
Wendy managed to recommend some plans that are suitable for my current age group and personal plans. She is always there when I need help, which is a relief for me, as I have never submitted a claim before. Wendy is always quick to reply, even if she is overseas, she always tries her best to help.
So far, my claims have been approved fuss-free as Wendy was able to provide clear instructions on how to fill up the form. I would recommend Wendy as your lifelong financial consultant, you will be in good hands :) | | | | |
