| As we begin a fresh year, it is a good idea to not just evaluate ourselves based on the previous year on how we have been managing our lives, but also to find out ways to become more productive as we move along. In this issue, I'd like to share with you some powerful ideas on productivity and how we can make the best of our resources, time, energy and capabilities. Let's do this! | | Why "Done is Better Than Perfect" by Sheryl Sandberg The CEO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, has one of the best success quotes to live by: Done is Better Than Perfect. The innovative products that we know are constantly evolving; and we're not likely to ever reach perfection as no one has. Instead, getting things done is more important than being perfect, and this applies to various areas in our lives. | | Creating Time: How to Master the Art of Intentionality Global economic indicators suggest that despite the additional hours that people work daily, outcomes remain low. Everyone is busy — but that isn’t necessarily translating into productivity. According to Harvard University researchers, our attention wanders away from what we’re doing 46.9% of the time. For both leaders and employees, that’s half the work day. Half a day of not being fully present with tasks and people. This lack of presence is costly. | | The Perfectionist Trap | Celina Belizan  | | 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 really appreciate his regular updates and check-ins—they show he genuinely cares about my progress. He’s flexible with timing, so it's easy to stay on top of things, and he’s always there to help when I need it.
Gary’s opened my eyes to the value of insurance and investments with insights that fit my goals. I like that he only recommends things that make sense for me—he’s straightforward and not pushy at all. He has a way of making everything easy to understand, so I feel more confident and informed about my financial journey. | |  | | Winson, Data Analyst I have always been skeptical towards insurance agents, but Gary has changed my mind. He never pressured me or tried to upsell products I didn’t need. This was evident when he patiently waited for more than a year until I felt financially ready to commit for an insurance plan. Additionally, he only recommended products that were necessary for me. Throughout the process, Gary was also very patient in explaining the details and clarifying any questions I had. All in all, I gained trust towards Gary along the process and am glad to have chosen him as my agent. | |  | | Wilson, Business Relationship Manager Gary is as many have mentioned, a professional person.
I am extremely pleased with his service. He is very patient in explaining the various plans for insurance and has wide knowledge of what he does.
Even though I did not purchase many plans from him, he does not force or upsell any plans on me and instead gives me a lot of time to think about it.
He is always ready and willing to provide me with information whenever I message and check him on some stuff, even though I know that he is a busy person.
I greatly appreciate the advices and services from Gary Giam. I highly recommended him. | |  | | Akber, Software Engineer We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Gary for his exceptional assistance throughout the insurance process. His expertise and unwavering support were crucial in obtaining the coverage we needed. We are deeply appreciative of his outstanding service. | |  | | Christine Tandoc, IT Analyst I've been spending a lot of money on insurance lately and I'm looking for a more affordable option that still gives me the coverage I need.
Luckily, my friend recommended Gary, who put together a helpful PowerPoint presentation that outlines exactly what I'm looking for.
I was impressed by Gary's thoughtfulness and customer focus. He really listened to my needs and tailored his presentation accordingly. And despite being very professional, he was also very personable and approachable. He is adept in insurance products.
Lastly, I feel I can trust Gary with my insurance needs. Definitely a huge factor for me, and one of the main reasons why I decided to switch. Overall, I'm really happy with the service Gary has provided so far, and I'm excited to see how he can help me save money while still getting the coverage I need. | |  | | Sobri, Teacher Gary has been great at explaining everything clearly and in a way that’s easy to follow, which is helpful since I sometimes lose track of the details in my portfolio. It’s reassuring to know he’ll be there if anything goes wrong, especially when it comes to handling claims. My meet-ups with him feel more relaxed and more personal than with other advisors—I enjoy working with him! | | | | |
