| As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives. | | How to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You If you find yourself looking over your shoulder, self-conscious, or fretful about how your actions will look to others, here’s some help to stop worrying. | | The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health ‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. How can you change your habits? | | A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think We spend a little too much time worrying about how we must appear in the minds of others. However, the poignant, useful truth is that almost everyone doesn’t care at all about who we are, what we’re doing and how we’ve messed up. | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

Someone once said this to me : Did you know insurance is created by the rich and for the rich?
I guess indeed for the rich, they do have knowledge to capitalize on insurance/investment products to multiply what they already have. Hence, the potential insurance could bring for everyone.
How about the rest of us whom "are not so rich"?
I learnt the foundation of Financial planning and the first thing I did was to plan for my own family. To get rich? Nope. The first things my wife and I focused on was health, accident and protection plans. These do not make us rich.
What these plans does: 1. If we fall sick, we do not become burden to the family 2. If we passed on, our kids are able to survive till they can earn a living and our mothers are taken care of till a ripe old age.
I believe my concept of PROTECTING the family first, is important. How do I plan for others if I cannot even take care of my own family planning first?
I hope my clients could trust me to plan for their protection too. | | | | Jeviene Sim Sales Operation Specialist F5 Networks Singapore Pte Ltd I am truly glad to met Wil-son during my financial planning journey.
Wil-son always put in the extra miles, to manage my expectations, and needs by comparing the policies across the various companies.
Over the years, we became friends, and I could bring up difficult conversations to discuss with him. Thank you for the friendship and for all the advises along the way. | | | | Wai Fong Retiree Client since 2020 2020 has been a trying year for everyone with the ongoing pandemic, and more so for me. In August 2020, I was unexpectedly hospitalized for the first time in my life (besides pregnancy and childbirth, that is) for appendicitis. I was distressed over my health and hit by the realization that I did not have a hospital plan that could cover my hospital bills.
Given my age, I was also unsure on whether insurance companies would be willing to provide me with the adequate coverage. I was then introduced to Wil-son by my daughter, who went the extra mile to search and analyze insurance policies, before patiently explaining and recommending the most appropriate coverage for me.
I am much appreciative for the patience and support rendered by Wil-son during this difficult period and his sincerity and genuine concern towards his clients.
To me, he is not an agent, but a trusted family friend. | | | | Chang Kai-Hsun QA Engineer Having known Wil-son for a few years, he is very friendly and helpful at whatever occasion I had seen. Recently he approached me for a chat and reviewed my policies. He came just at the right moment, as I plan to make use of my CPF.
The way he delivered his comments and suggestions, was very calm and polite, just like a friend who is recommending some of his good purchase in a very professional way.
Apart from giving introduction on the wealth protection schemes, he also patiently gives suggestion to maximize my guaranteed wealth growth before considering any CPF investment plans from him, I find it very knowledgeable and useful.
He put himself in my shoes and give suggestion that would be the most beneficial for me, and when he is giving introductions to a policy, there is not a feel that he want you to buy that, and I hope that I can meet more agents with those kind of characteristic.
I am glad to have him as my agent. Thank you!! | | | | Sally Lim Finance Executive Client since 2017 Be frank, I have never like financial planner becos after signing up plan with them, i don’t see or hear from them.
It is like a one time business. But meeting Wil-son, he given me an impression of he really does care of what I really need and not what he needs for the figures to hit his quota.
Wil-son is friendly, approachable and really a good listener. I will highly recommend him to whoever I know is in need.
Thank you Wil-son and wish he is always loved and trusted by all his clients and growth in his career.

To be honest, I do not like "insurance agents" although I was one myself some years back. I remember how agents always go into telling me how it would be great to start a savings regime and I agree. However, what they didn't tell me is I should probably get a medical plan first so in any event I'm hospitalized, I do not have to burden my family with any medical costs.
My husband believes in starting right with insurance and he helps people manage their money so that having insurance does not becomes a liability.
He feels that people could leverage on insurance to spread their economic risks with the right planning and save them from any unnecessary stress and worries, allowing them to focus on the people they love when they need them.
I would say his value comes from planning with me and not for me. | | | | |
