The Gift of Paying It Forward

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Evelyn Goh, Nicu Senior Staff Nurse

I like Felicia for her integrity towards selling policies. She does not hard-sell, but take time to listen and plan even way beyond the expectations of a financial planner. Others should seek Felicia as their planner because she plans every aspect of finance in a way that maximises financial potential in whichever financial status the client is in. her patience to go through every step personally makes one know that she is a trusted friend on standby planning life alongside situations we may face. She is a kind and driven person, driven towards giving the best and practical advices to me. She also has strong sense of empathy towards medical and social situations that makes sharing and planning fruitful with her. Meeting up with her has benefitted me in terms of clarity about my coverage, awareness of my health status and also my financial stability in anticipation of crisis in future. I hope you will meet Felicia with an open mind too.
