The Gift of Paying It Forward

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.

Nizam

Garion had been bold in his decisions and had gone through the toughest time in life and survived. Taking himself as an exemple, he puts his friends' and clients' interests first, knowing what is best for them. He builds bonds and trust, best of all he delivers. Thank you for looking after my future. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Andrew

I met Garion with investment in mind. I was already scouting around for an investment that is hassle-free that can also meet my investment risk appetite. After understanding my needs and with the simple and clear explanation by Garion, I was SOLD to the investment policy that he presented in just one day - a plan that has high leverage from the on-start and yet offers high flexibility! This allows my monies to work extra hard for me, while allowing me immediate access to what I am invested in, whenever and wherever I am. Thanks for meeting my needs and the nice catch up! 😊

Harry

Garion differentiates himself from typical financial planners by tailoring a portfolio of financial instruments to fulfil individual investment goals and insurance needs at different stages of life. He demonstrates strong commitment and belief in his products. Being vested in the products himself, he is not only capable to provide reliable access but also timely market outlook to seize investment opportunities for long term wealth accumulation. It has been a pleasant and rewarding experience.

Anselm

I have known Garion for a couple of years, since his time in the Airforce and all the way till now. We have kept in constant contact even after he left regular service. When he asked me if I was interested in getting a new plan for long term investment, I knew it would be something that helped me plan ahead for the future. He is a very committed person as far as work is concerned and will constantly try to interact and share with you more details. He is someone that can be committed to trustworthy friendship and partnership. I thank him for his time and patience in explaining to my wife and me on the way ahead with this new plan. It is one of the best investments I know to park aside our year-end bonus for a better future!
