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.

Geen, Customer Service Expert

I have known Kian Siong since he was a junior banker in a local bank and indeed he has grown and flourish into a responsible and professional advisor that he is today! During his advise, he took the time to go through all my objectives and even helped me to prioritise and show me the blind spots that I would not have seen. He is a wonderful advisor. Thumbs up!

I have known Kian Siong since 2018. He started with helping me with my car insurance and over time, i have found him to be trustworthy, and knowledgeable in his recommendations.

He was also patient in explaining all the details to me to ensure I am well informed before i make my decision. Thank you for the good work!

I got to know Kian Siong as the new advisor taking over my portfolio after my previous advisor left. During our meeting, he took time and effort to explain what I currently have to ensure I understand and also demonstrated that he is able to help me make my insurance dollars more efficient by saving money on my premiums. Thank you Kian Siong

Ms Lee

I met Kian Siong when he was a personal banker some 10 years ago, and ever since then, he has always been trustworthy and always adding value to my financial planning as well as my family. It is always great to have someone you trust grow with you, and I would gladly recommend Kian Siong to be the guy to accompany your financial planning for the years ahead!

Edmund & Lena

Going through the different stages of life together. Experiencing the happy times and the not so happy times together. Watching me grow up and in turn, me watching their children grow up to be the filial kids that they are today. I guess this is what family is all about. Today, I have the honour and the privilege to help my cousin plan for her family, ensuring that when the inevitable happens, there will be proper instructions on who gets what and how its going to be done. Really grateful to be able to showcase my experience and expertise to my family members and most importantly, using my experience and expertise to apply to their unique family situation gives me invaluable satisfaction to my career.
