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.

我在三十年前就开始做家庭理财，做自己和家人的保障，做孩子的教育金计划等等，并且我是一名保险的受益人。Canice在给我做了所有保单的评估之后，建议我完善我的退休计划，这很符合我平日里的存钱习惯，并且当时她下来带我去开新的银行户口，为了可以给到我最大的利益，这样使得我在存退休金的同时，每个月还可以从银行拿到额外的利息，对于我的家庭理财来说是一箭双雕。生日的时候还收到了Canice亲自送过来的意外惊喜，相信她会越做越好。
