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.

I have known Connie for many years, she never fails to put interest first before profits. She takes time to understand my needs and avails herself to help me. She is also mindful of little things that matters. I strongly recommend her service for anyone who is looking for a reliable and non-pushy advisor.

Kenneth & Joey

Sean has been seeing to our family's insurance needs since the birth of our girl 12 years ago. He has been most patient in going through policy benefits and explaining the technicalities to us, to help us understand what's best for us. The "test" for any insurance agent is when it comes to claiming. Sean passed the "test" with flying colours. He was with us every step of the way, advising us and helping us when we had a claim to make. So glad we met such a sincere and professional agent, thank you Sean!

Jacky & Belinda

We know Sean & Connie when my girl Gretal was born in 2006. They help to me and my wife sort out, evaluate and propose better plans for our insurance needs. Not only did his action did not incur more cost, he actually helped us to save more money by eliminating the overlapping and unnecessary policies. I remember there was time where it was very late at night and I had to send my kid into A&E. I texted Sean without expectation of any reply due to the late of the night but I was shocked, touched and grateful that Sean actually called back and answer whatever doubts I had. From then I knew that my family is in the best hands of an insurance agent anyone could ever ask for. Thank you so much Sean and Connie
