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.

A K Mas. Managing Director. Aureus Law Corporation

Noah is my son and Financial Consultant. I can attest to his passion and dedication as he would always question me with the different scenarios on how civil and/or Faraidh law would affect the way he does his financial planning for his clients. Needless to say, his interests lies in the well-being in the clients' he serves. He would sit down with you to truly understand the situation first, before formulating a thorough action-plan. If you need someone you can trust- look no further. Noah is one to go to!

Mimi. Civil Servant.

A few months ago, I decided to get a second opinion on my existing policies. I sought a close friend's husband, Noah, who went through my policies. He noticed that I was paying too much for insufficient coverage and drew up a cohesive plan to ensure that I get my essential needs covered. Talking to him was a breeze and he made things comfortable - there was no hard-selling. I know this is damn cliché but I'm glad that I made the decision to have Noah review my policies! Highly recommend seeking him for any doubts that you have in your policies! THANK YOU!

David Densing. Safety Manager.

Mr Noah is a dedicated and professional Financial Consultant who gives me good advice and recommendations on what is best for me. He guided me the correct way and helped allocate the right amount to set aside based on my budget and explained the benefits clearly. He looked after my interests and I would highly recommend him.

Hidayat Aziz. Business Owner. Tentang Kita Co.

When Noah initially approached me, I was skeptical at first as I thought that he was just trying to sell me another plan. However, when we actually sat down and had a proper chat, it was totally different from what I had expected. He took the time to understand my concerns, needs and also my financial capabilities. Only after understanding all of that, he then curated the most realistic and achievable proposal for me. What really sets him apart was his knowledge in Estate Planning and Faraid Law. He helped me to see the bigger picture and was able to address my concerns and see to it that my wishes are fulfilled. By the time we were done, it was already 3am in the morning! I am sure that Noah always puts his clients’ interest first, and I truly believe that everyone should go and meet him!

Anicea Novy. Customer Service Executive.

What I look for in a adviser is someone realistic, farsighted, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I believe everyone deserves a dependable adviser whom they can always rely on and have an unbiased opinion, yet passionate about your goals you set in life. In order to achieve them, we need someone who is competent yet empathic about our individual situations. To me, that person is Noah; and I would gladly recommend him to everyone who is looking for an adviser; or someone who wants a second opinion on what they currently have.

Dean. Commercial Pilot.

Noah is a passionate and enthusiastic professional. His explanations are clear and straight to the point. He attentively listened to my situation first before tailoring the financial plans to my essential needs. His knowledge on Faraidh and Shariah Law is an added bonus for Muslims as he knows how to plan according to AMLA. Noah is also managing my investment portfolio and has consistently been giving me timely updates. I'm happy with my portfolio that Noah is actively managing for me. I would definitely recommend Noah to anyone who is looking for sound financial planning advice or a Financial Consultant.
