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.

Jac has been both a trusted friend and an exceptional insurance agent. She assisted me in setting up my accident and hospital insurance plans with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Her ability to clearly explain the policies and ensure they were tailored to my needs was truly reassuring. It is a great comfort to know that my insurance matters are in the hands of someone I trust and respect.

Elaine Lau, Banker (Client since 2019)

If I were to describe the impression that Jacqueline gives me, I would say - "I never knew what a good agent is like, until I know Jacq" I am a non believer of insurance due to bad experiences in my early years. I steer clear when I hear the word insurance. However, Jacq changes everything. She is not just my trustworthy agent, she is also a friend. Jacq is patience in listening to your needs and gives you timely and the best professional advices for you and your family. Jacq is highly efficient and always there when you need her. She is extremely helpful, caring, attentive, always with a smile and very knowledgeable in her expertise of work. Undoubtedly, Jacq is the BEST insurance agent one could ever have, and a true gem in this industry. You never know how good your insurance and agent are until you need them, and both are outstanding in my case.

Goh Lyndy, Private Flight Attendant (Client since 2015)

Jacqueline is highly committed to her profession. She has an outstanding work ethic and has made the process of dealing with insurance easy and seamless. Whenever I am in doubt or have questions, she is always able to provide insurance counseling and advice. Her patience towards the elderly definitely shows as she handles my mum’s policies as well. She is able to explain the policies in a different way, to my mum so that she understands better and feels very assured. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline to anyone without hesitation or reservation. Thank you for always having my best interest at heart and ensuring that I am well covered!

Candy, Andy & Family (Client since 2014)

Jiajia is my husband’s childhood friend. I’ve known her for close to 20 years and she has been our trustworthy insurance agent for about 10 years. Although she just started with AIA when I first got to know her, she has never tried selling anything to me. We only approached her when we were expecting our first child. Ever since, she has been promptly answering queries, efficiently handling our claims and diligently updating us with the changes in policy terms. Whenever we are faced with issues, she will always be there ready to help and giving us assurance. She will reiterate, “Anything, just call. No matter how late, just call.’ She also ensures that we are adequately covered within our means. Her experience and professionalism is indisputable. She always uphold herself with pride and integrity. We are so blessed and thankful to have her as a close friend and taking care of our policies. Jiajia is the BEST!!

Bernard Tan, Business Development Manager (Client since 2003)

I opined that the insuring of ourselves, and in some cases our loved ones, are one of the many things that a responsible adult should always plan to do. There are just too many dramatic real-life cases of detrimental occurrences, telling us of the financial and emotional meltdowns we could bring to our family, should we have not insured ourselves during times when misfortune knocks on our doors. Also, we thought it is important that we do not just insure ourselves thoroughly, but to also conduct the same with a reliable underwriter which possesses sound track records, and with a seamless claims process. I have known Jacqueline for slightly over 30 Years, and had since 2 decades ago entrusted the whole insurance portfolio of my family with AIA, through this uniquely dedicated insurance agent & friend. Jac had been through with me and my family, at our various life stages; from the time when I was just married with a kid, till the later season when my 2 kids are in their teens, and now when my wife and I are in the midst of concluding our retirement. I remember vividly, that Jac would often be with me, or with my children to the hospital/clinics, so much so that she was, almost always, mistaken to be my wife, or my kids’ mother. Jacqueline was, and had always been with us when we got ourselves into such trouble. She is our go-to person when we need financial & security advise, the first person to come to mind whenever we encounter injuries, and incidents of any kind. While I may not be the best testimony to a well-trusted and dependable financial planner (I do have many to compare with), I am thankful that we to have Jac with us all thru’ these many years. We have heard of many stories that would bring bad reputation to the occupation; nonetheless, we are blessed that we are served by one who serves with a heart, who is considerate about our circumstances, mindful of our needs and always proposing solutions that best meet our needs, while not forgetting the depths of our pockets at the same time. I am delighted that I have chosen AIA; if I am given a chance to choose again, I will most certainly do the same, through Jacqueline nevertheless, to have AIA as our trusted insurance partner and provider. 05 Feb 2023
