| 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.

Knowing my financial background, he makes extra effort to explain the contents of the product which enables me to make sound decision with my investment.
Thanks for providing an excellent service in helping me with my financial planning. Would highly recommend to friends and family. | |  | | Jun Eng (Engineer) Ben approached me for a review of my existing policies as he was just starting out as a consultant. He was very methodical & enthusiastic with setting my financial goals & preferences with me.
While reviewing my policies & making recommendations, he provided very useful details to help me decide. I am very satisfied with the few sessions of consultations we have had so far. | |  | | You Liang (Software Engineer) Ben is a very helpful and patient financial advisor. To begin with, the entire session is extremely insightful; It was full of reflection of one's own future financial planning.
Ben did a great job in raising awareness and sharing of knowledge in terms of insurance, protection & financial planning for me. While at the same time acknowledging the suitability of different financial strategy for each individual.
Overall, it is a stress-free & valuable session to all. No regrets. | |  | | Rahul (Software Engineer) I've known Benji for a few years and recently I seek his advice on some of my existing policies and investments.
He went above and beyond what I could've ever expected to help me get all my doubts and questions answered. He is very thorough with his work, and is honest and upfront about things.
I believe, that's the true sign of a trusted advisor for anyone! | |  | | Wan Wei (Research Engineer) I am writing this testimonial to recommend Ben as a financial advisor. I got to know Ben through my previous job, and he has been a good friend who is patient and sincere.
Initially, I have no idea what good financial planning is, until I met Ben. He went the extra mile to provide details and explanation for the various policies available. He helps me to analyze my current financial status so that the best plan can be recommended. It is really nice to work with a financial adviser who always put the needs and preferences of his clients first.
Thank you so much for being an incredible advisor and listener! From helping me to put things into perspective to preparing me for great things in the future.
I have no doubt in recommending Ben to any of my friends and family. | |  | | Shenglin (Research Associate) Previously, I usually just researched and picked one insurance I thought was most reasonable. I don't trust people for financial planning.
Ben's appearance broke this darkness and brought light. He is patient and responsible. We had about three sessions to talk about my insurance plans. I was new in Singapore, and he resolved every concern and question I had and walked me through the plans for me in great detail.
Instead of rushing into any recommendations, he spent time to understand my needs and my current situation. It is easy to make a recommendation based on experience, but it is precious for an agent to research and come up with the most suitable one for the client.
He is friendly and nice. He created a safe and comfortable environment for us to discuss. I liked some small chats with him, and I could sense that he also cared about my mental health by recommending the trails in Singapore as a friend.
If you would like a person who helps you with financial planning, my suggestion? BEN. | | | | |
