| 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.

I have known Ber for almost 10 years through a badminton game during office hours. First impression? A very tough guy! We played for almost 4 months, when finally, out of curiosity, I asked him why he could play during office hours? He told me he’s a full time insurance agent. Oops! I asked the wrong question. I tot from tat day onwards he would start asking me out for kopi sessions.
Well, we do go out very often for meals and kopi, but the best thing is that he NEVER shares with me about insurance. We played badminton together for a few years before I decided to ask him for advise regarding my policies which changed my impression of Ber.
Before sharing, he was fun, sincere, friendly, very truthful (
never hid his feeling). After sharing, he showed me that he was trustworthy, genuine, and knew his product well (he also customised to my individual needs).
Overall, he is a person whom my family can rely on and he is also a good friend to my son, as a mentor and a councillor.
His wife, Joyce, was also my children’s tuition teacher.
Ber and his family are now our extended family. This is the kind of everlasting friendship. | |  | | Wenkie, 27, Engineer Bernard is open-minded to respect my decision and opinion.

I appreciate how he provides his professional advices but do not pressurize me to make a decision.

He is someone I trust to manage my policies. | |  | | Jesson, 36, Father of two Bernard is both a real person & a consultant and probably one of the most down to earth person you will ever meet.

然而我认识了Bernard, 就以支持朋友的心态向他买了少许的保险，毕竟我是一个送餐员，有一定的风险。不幸中的大幸，在买了保险不到半年的时间，最不想发生的事情终于发生了，死神差点把我带走。当时我第一件想到的事是医药费要怎么办？到底需要多少钱？在进行手术过后的第二天当我清醒的时后，医生却告诉我还有7次的手术需要做。我当场崩溃。我就马上联络上Bernard 询问关于医药费的问题，我很庆幸我当时以支持朋友的心态买了这份很普通的保险但是却帮我支付了一笔5位数的庞大医药费。更让我放心的是Bernard的服务态度和解释能力完全让我明白了我的医药费和保险的赔赏。我个人觉得买保险重要的不在于你买多少钱，而是服务你的人，让我明白了当我遇到意外的时候我的生命值多少。 | |  | | EMANUEL, 27, Assistant HR Manager Bernard has been more than just a financial consultant to me, he has also been a friend.
