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.

I've known Lata for a while now. Lata is warm, caring, and trustworthy. I generally dread working with financial planners but with Lata I feel at ease. I know that she has my best interests at heart, and I trust her advice. At this point, Lata is not only my financial planner, but she has become a good friend as well. Thanks for everything Lata!

Thanks for guiding me and being the most genuine and sincere person I know. Your help has allowed me personally to see a better life free of financial burdens. Thanks for being more than a advisor but a personal friend. I believe everyone should learn of your approach and know how caring and sweet you are as a person. Sincere thanks to you, Lata.

A friend recommended Lata Shamdasani a couple of years ago, and I’m still glad she did. I’ve found Ms Shamdasani’s financial advice beneficial. She is not only well-informed and experienced but also friendly and caring. She checks in now and then and always makes herself available when you need to discuss a policy. I’d say Ms Shamdasani has all the essential qualities you‘d look for in a financial advisor.

I've known Lata since my family and I moved to Singapore. She's been a great help and resource to our family's financial planning. A trusted friend indeed. Do get to know her. Would be great to have a good mind to tap on should you need an objective opinion.I was referred to Lata by a good friend of my husband's and met her for a brief discussion about our financial plans. I must say that having a resourceful & knowledgeable friend to call on can really make a difference. I hope you can avail yourself to get to know her too. Highly recommended. Talk soon!

There are many insurance and financial consultants out there. So generally speaking, buying an insurance policy these days is not a difficult task. However, I found that having an financial consultant that listens to me, that accurately identifies my needs, that understands me and provides me with the right vehicles to secure my future, is an extremely daunting task. Fortunately, I found a planner that has all the above traits and is a very hard worker; Lata Shamdasani. I have recently purchased insurance policies through Lata. She explained to me in detail, the different offers from different perspectives. Very honestly, Lata explained to me what was covered and -more importantly- what was not covered. I know that Lata has put forth a lot of effort and time to compile a policy that suits my needs. I am truly grateful for all the help and knowledge Lata has provided and I know that Lata will be a great help to anyone who wants to secure their future.
