| 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.

Appreciate your help and sincerity that you put in for your clients & your working attitude is motivational. Thank you for being part of my insurance journey and I know I can rely on you 😉 | |  | | Mr Koung, Business Owner Karna and Kamen 是两位都很敬业的年轻保险经纪。他们都很有耐性解释不通有意的保险配套，也常常提出对我们都很有利的财务建议。认识了他们那么多年，我对他们的服务都一直很满意。有了他们的协助，我能更好地管理名下的保单等等。希望他们再接再厉，继续带给为更多人最佳的服务。
| |  | | Charis I kick started my financial planning journey today with Karna, and opened my first savings account! I first met Karna when I was working as her PA, and she moved me with her genuineness right from our first meeting. As a skeptic, I used to avoid financial planning and planners like the plague, however, while working with her, I witnessed Karna's conviction and dedication in giving the best to her clients. That is quality of hers that I really admire, and I remember thinking to myself, 'when I've gathered an amount that I'm personally satisfied with, I will do something with it, and when that time comes, I would love for Karna to administer it', and today, we did that!
Karna carefully listened to my goals and provided me with comprehensive information. She was very transparent and gave me informed advice which not only aligns with my goals, but goes as far as supplementing them. No upselling, no pressure, almost like seeking advice from a friend. Her cheerful and personable nature made her a very nice person to be around, which made the appointment a very pleasant and fulfilling one! I didn't walk away wondering if I made the right choice, which often happens with impulse purchases or commitments. Instead, I left feeling super accomplished and relieved. Very happy! | |  | | Joy Karna 是一位非常专业的保险经纪，她总是非常有耐心的听取我的需求，然后根据我的个人情况来给出非常专业的建议。她从不介意我在咨询的过程中提出任何要求和问题。对于我的提问，她总是会事先准备好所需的资料，让我感到非常安心。对于她的服务，我深表感谢！ | |  | | Chwee Fern 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 :) | |  | | Novelship Team WELCOME BACK TO THE OFFICE
We welcomed our Singapore employees back to the office with a health themed event with lots of F_U_N! Besides getting our health record card, through the medical checkups, we didn't forget to have fun through a series of socially-distanced activities and games. By the end of the event, most of us forgot that we haven't seen each other in a while!
Kudos to Karna Wee, Jae Chik., Jennifer Poh for partnering with us, and preparing the aromatherapy-based sanitizer, customizable for each of us, as well as the 'Ang Bao' Grab wall in line with Lunar New Year! Employees were tasked to complete a set of health centred challenges to get a chance to win some cash prizes from the Ang Bao Wall. Our top winners went back home with Novelship credits and food coupons! Whilst amid the global pandemic, this is was a great start in the Tiger Year of 2022, to see and interact with each other normally again!
