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.

Hi Everyone, I just need to call my FC Emily Lim for help to get a right lady gynecologist. Bingo, Emily fixed appointment for me. I just need to show up for the appointment. She was also there physically to support me. Thank you, Emily!

Hi Everyone, Putting People First - is certainly the best way to describe my leader, Emily. Emily is a leader who always have people’s interests at heart, she is always willing to go the extra mile for people who requires help, I have never heard her rejecting people’s plea for genuine help, this is especially rare in a world where many people are used to be self-centered, focusing only on their benefits. From this selfless trait she has, I have learnt to be generous with people and to be sensitive to people’s well-being. Towards her own associates, she has also never stopped finding ways to groom her associates to be the best version of themselves even if it risks sounding like a stern parent at home because she only wishes to see her associates prosper and do well in life as she believes that each of us, no matter which starting point we are at, will have the potential to be better and she never gives up on us even if we ourselves may have given up on ourselves. If you are seeking a leader who can inspire you to be become the best version you can be, Emily is the one to look for!

Hi All, Emily is not just my insurance agent. She is a wonderful friend who helped me and my family by rendering her help to us as our most needy time. She analysed the existing policy that we are holding and would recommend what we need to us. My greatest appreciation from her came when my mother was ill. Emily helped my family and I so much. From ferrying my mother to treatments, to lending us her car for our usage when she’s out of town. I always asked myself, which insurance agent would do that? After my mother passed on, she helped us with the process to file for claims and such. Not just for the claims to her company but other insurance companies as well. We would be lost without her careful guidance. Apart from being my insurance , she had also helped to monitor the funds I had, ensuring that I would not suffer any losses. Emily is not an agent who goes to her clients for business purposes only. She wants the best for her clients within their comfortable budget. She is not someone who pushes for business for her own sales volume. she would be the first person available when the need arises. Emily is a very caring, she would do all she could to help anyone in need. Knowing that life is tough for me as a single mother, she often checks on me to make sure I m well. When she knows my children want to be exposed to the financial consultant field, she immediately offer to take them in and enroll them in any available platform. I’m so grateful to have Emily as my one and only trusted agent and my personal friend.

Hi Everyone, My director, Emily, is a dedicated and heartwarming superior. She is genuine in helping her agents and does it wholeheartedly without complains. Be it underwriting status or claims, just a word from us and she will go all out to seek answers for our queries. Emily’s vast experience in this industry makes her a great mentor to her agents. Her sincerity coupled with the amount & depth of attention that she give her clients are valuable traits that she passed down to us. Because of her strong emphasis on servicing, we naturally strive to be responsible consultants for our clients. Our job is not always smooth sailing as we have to constantly deal with rejections and sometimes difficult clients. However, with a supportive team and passionate leader, work becomes much more enjoyable!

Hi Emily, I believe my journey with you, which started during one of the lowest points in my life, will go far. My husband had got himself a rare policy in order to support his ex-colleague – Emily Lim. A kind deed deserves another. When he passed on in 2016, Emily impressed me with her efficiency with a human touch when she helped process the policy claim. We had been friends since. Emily has been a financial advisor to me like none other (I have four or five others). She keeps in touch intrusively. From her casual sharing, I hear of how she befriends her clients who need help and would go out of her way to assist, often what even family members would do. I was touched by her concern for her staff, coaching them and giving them a leg-up when necessary, beyond work to their spiritual needs. Her role-modelling of attending to persons as a total fellow human being with multi-faceted needs would be helpful to those who are willing to learn from her. As I age, I’m confident that I have a companion in Emily, as a friend and financial consultant who would be ready to assist and advise when necessary. I thank God for you, Emily. May He continue to show you favour and anoint you with His love.
