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.

Wee Tat Yong, Retiree

I was referred to Gary through a friend and since then, he has been my go-to person for my policy matters. One of the things I appreciate about working with Gary is his attention to detail when making recommendations. He takes the time to explain the nuances of the policy and how it will affect me in the long run. He also keeps me up-to-date on recent happenings and news that may impact my policy, which is very valuable to me as a busy person. What sets Gary apart from others is his friendly and approachable nature. He is never pushy and always takes the time to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. This makes me feel comfortable and confident in his ability to manage my policy needs. Overall, I recommend Gary for anyone looking for an advisor who is easy to work with, detailed in his recommendations, and keeps you informed on the latest news.
