As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future. | The Relentless Pursuit of Improvement It is no secret that I believe growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better. It is no mystery that I think personal growth is the steppingstone to success for any leader. If you or I want to stay in front of the curve and lead others, then we must do the work that keeps us out front. We must continually improve. But as I seek to improve, there is one thing I know not to chase, and that is perfection. Perfection is a trap. Do not chase perfection as a leader - chase improvement. Make today better than yesterday so tomorrow can be better than today. The relentless pursuit of improvement will take any leader far. | I used to be jealous of other people's wealth and success - here is how I finally got over it Envy. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point. It is also a really dangerous emotion when we are trying to build a strong financial life. Envy is pure poison to a healthy financial life. After all, envy encourages us to make some pretty poor decisions. Like every other character flaw, however, envy can be overcome. You can directly reduce the envy itself, or you can at least reduce the bad choices you make as a result of envy. Here are seven strategies I use to cut envy out of my own life. | To reach beyond your limits by training your mind | Marisa Peer | TEDxKCS | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

He is very knowledgeable about his work and is able to explain the policies to me in simple terms. He is a professional individual and has been a dedicated advisor as he shares and reviews my policies regularly. It assures me that my family's policies are also taken care by him. I also had some great advice from him in terms of financial and long term life planning.
Thanks Jerry for the meetup! As well as helping to take care of my family's policies over the years!🙏🙏🙏 | | | Ms Marlene Tan (MOE Educator) Planning for your family and future is important, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Jerry as my financial advisor. Finding someone I felt truly comfortable with was a challenge, but knowing Jerry from our time as colleagues, I knew he wasn’t the typical hard-sales type. And I was right—Jerry is everything you’d hope for in a financial advisor: sincere, patient, efficient, and genuinely invested in your best interests.
What sets Jerry apart is his willingness to listen. He takes the time to understand your needs, current profile, and existing policies before offering advice. There’s never any pressure—just thoughtful guidance based on what’s best for you, not what benefits him. His approach is long-term; he doesn’t just focus on immediate solutions but carefully plans for your future as well.
Beyond his sincerity, Jerry is also incredibly efficient. He ensures that everything is handled smoothly and promptly, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free. He puts in the hard work to find the best options, explains them clearly, and follows through with every detail—so you never feel lost or overwhelmed.
Through both his words and actions, it’s clear that Jerry works with integrity. He puts in the effort to ensure you make informed decisions, always considering what truly benefits you. If you’re looking for a financial advisor who prioritizes your well-being, offers sound advice, and gets things done efficiently, Jerry is the one to trust. | | | Royden Lim (Year 2 AIA FSC, Year 2 SUSS Undergraduate) Maybe I should start by sharing how I met Jerry before I joined him as an FSC. Jerry has been with my family and our family business for as long as I can remember. He has literally seen me grow up through my various stages of life. But it took an unfortunate series of events that really led me to realise the importance of financial planning and insurance, and got me thinking about how to better manage my own. So who better to find than Jerry? And ever since then, things have gotten for the better. To have a mentor that actively makes time for his team is a difficult find - not to mention that Jerry himself is extremely busy. From weekly training sessions to suddenly having to meet someone the next day, Jerry has always put in his 110% effort in making sure that we are constantly learning. It doesn’t matter whether it’s 11 am or 11 pm, you can always contact him. Couldn’t ask for more! | | | Nady Yang (SUSS undergraduate) It was a fruitful session with Jerry! It was eyeopening as it was my first time meeting a financial advisor and I didn’t know what to expect. But he patiently shared and educated me all the plans and the possible financial paths and decisions I can make now for the future.
Jerry also made the policies' jargons easy to absorb and I think I now have a clearer view of the steps I should take to reach my goals.
Overall, I look forward to learning more from him. Jerry, you again for taking out your time for this session 😆 | | | Andy and Angel (Founders of Wheel Angel) Jerry was introduced by our best friend who assured us that he's the bestest person in his industry. When we first knew Jerry we felt immediately at ease. We shared our concerns, financial backgrounds and our needs for insurance with him. He treats everyone like his closest friend and he shows compassion, knowledge and wisdom. Jerry is a typical example who goes beyond and above even though he is the boss himself and doesn't put on any airs with any clients, big or small. My wife and I place our complete trust and faith with him not just as an insurance agent but as a lifetime friend! | | | Shi Hua (MOE Educator) I've known Jerry for more than a decade. From ex colleagues to friends, he is someone whom one can count on whenever you need advice. To me and my family, he is not just a financial advisor or your typical agent, he is a friend who is always ready to render his help and of course his expertise in his field of profession to make sure that me and my family are well taken care of in our health protection as well as our financial investments. One thing that sets him apart is that no doubts or worries that I have is ever too trivial for him. To him, what ever matters to us, matters to him and he will try his very best to help! So if u ever need a trustworthy and reliable advisor, Jerry is the man! | | | | |
