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.

David

My previous servicing agent from GE left and Xiang Jun was allocated to me as my new consultant.
Just simply based on her name, I didn't even realise she was a girl and at a much younger age than I am! But that didn't matter.
She is very willing to share her very insightful knowledge with me and allows me sufficient time for my every decision. Being an Otaku, other than depending on Google for information, her advice has also helped me substantially in making more informed decisions on my insurance and financial planning portfolio.
I'm definitely looking forward to maintaining our advisor-client relationship moving ahead.

Clovis

Xiang Jun goes over and above what is needed of her to make sure my family is covered and we are grateful for all the advice she has given us. I remember once when I had a car accident and she took the time to drive to where I was and actually followed me to the workshop. More than that, she just wanted to make sure I was alright.
Thank you for your dedication and genuine care!

Kang Wee

A personal financial adviser needs to be reliable, empathetic and trustworthy, and Xiang Jun embodies all these qualities. Despite my repeated and incessant questions, she patiently answers them all, explaining what will be the options available given my situation at various points in life. While I thankfully haven't needed to make any major insurance claims, I have no doubt that I can depend on her should the need arise.

JT Choong

I have known Miss Soh for a little over a year through my son. Through this short period of time, I had purchased a few short-term GE policies with her assistance. Each time, Miss Soh would take her time to patiently explain to me, the benefits (and possibilities) of each policy prior to my making the final decision. She demonstrated an innate ability to simplify and carefully explained, all the financial and insurance-related jargons that would otherwise have baffled non-finance-trained senior citizens like me. She had never attempted to force me into purchasing any policies that she had presented to me. Recently and at my beckoning, Miss Soh and I had a 3-hour face-to-face meeting where she very carefully and painstakingly explained to me the various non-GE-related medical insurance policies that I had previously purchased. She also provided me excellent suggestions on how I could revamp my various medical polices to save on expenses at my present age. I am extremely pleased with Miss Soh’s efforts; assisting me in planning my financial and insurance needs. She demonstrates care and compassion in helping me resolve my current financial and insurance needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Miss Soh to my friends and associates as and when the opportunity arises.

Siow Peng

Xiang Jun is my go-to person for all my Commercial solutions. She has been there for our family since the start of our business and is still there whenever we require assistance.
She is well-versed with the financial products and business requirements, understands our financial standing very well and has been very supportive and responsive to all our needs.
Would definitely recommend her to anyone out there!

Jia Huan

Xiang Jun embodies what it means to be a ‘personal’ financial advisor. She has never failed to wholly consider the unique circumstances of my (and probably all her client’s) financial circumstances, offering options which best suits my needs.
Xiang Jun is also always generous with her time and attention to details. This allows me to rest easy in the knowledge that I have all the necessary information to make the most prudent financial decisions, as well as the means to do it with Xiang Jun’s help.
Most importantly, she has an increasingly rare trait: sincerity in her determination to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. While I can’t claim to always make the best financial decisions, choosing Xiang Jun as my advisor is definitely one of them.
