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.

Denise, Business Owner

Karna is one of the best agents I have met. She can very well understand your requirements and identify plans that best suit me at different stages of my life planning. Well-equipped with knowledge, she is able to greatly assist not only for personal requirements but also for my business. She takes effort to simplify things so that it is so easy and clear to understand, especially helpful if you’re not someone who likes or are familiar with financial terms and concepts. A very responsible and professional agent who you can always trust and rely on at any time. Also a sincere and genuine person who felt like a really long time friend! Thankful for her help in getting my life well-planned and protected. Highly recommend her service! Two thumbs up 👍👍

I feel truly lucky to have Karna as my financial advisor, especially after going through several changes. I genuinely feel connected and know I have someone I can count on for sound advice, helpful tips, or even just a refresher when needed. She always comes prepared with the details whenever we meet, and her patience, trustworthiness, and reliability really stand out.

Hi Karna, Thank you for being so helpful and patience in explaining the insurance policies, also in guiding me to find the most suitable and ideal policies in Singapore. I love the summaries of the insurance plans you have prepared for me so far (including those I have with my previous agents), it’s very useful especially when I have several existing plans and I tend to forget the details of the coverage and benefit easily. Highly recommend to others. Thank you for your time today. See you soon and stay safe :)
