| As we embrace the new year, it may help to remember that the turning of the year doesn’t call for grand plans or perfect routines. Instead, it invites calm, adaptability, and trust in small, consistent steps. The collection of articles gathered here speak about the value of steadiness over speed, flexibility over force, and provides a quiet assurance to just keep going—even without clarity. | | Most Resolutions Collapse by February. Here’s the System High Performers Use Instead If your resolutions fade fast, it’s not a discipline problem. This piece shows how high performers skip rigid goals and build simple weekly systems instead—focusing on identity, small habits, and structure to create change that actually sticks. | | Beyond the New Year: How to Turn Family Resolutions into Everyday Rituals Make family resolutions stick by setting small, realistic, shared activity goals, involving children in planning, focusing on behaviours not outcomes, building connection, and staying flexible—so routines become enjoyable habits rather than abandoned ambitions. | | Why humans are surprisingly bad at being happy | Laurie Santos  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

© Ruth Tan, All rights reserved. | |  | | Nurhana Binte Ismail. Public Service Officer If there is one thing I know about Ruth, is that she is someone I can trust and depend on. From letting her “fly” me in acroyoga poses, to handling my financial plans - I know that I’m always in good hands! She has been a great friend, “cheerleader” and inspiration in our yoga journey together over the years, and I’m proud to watch her grow and thrive, not only as a yoga teacher, but also as a rising Financial Consultant! | |  | | Najiah Binte Ramlee. Public Service Officer Ruth is so bubbly and positive, it’s always a joy to meet her. But seriously, she has been a great help especially with my life insurance. Here, she has proven herself to be someone who goes the distance to help make sure the coverage is what you need or want, especially for me with existing conditions - and that’s rare to find. Even if it’s just a chat to find out more, she’s more than happy to share her knowledge so do reach out to her! | |  | | Serene Khor. Paralegal. I met Ruth during a yoga retreat and then we become friends. Ruth is very professional and meticulous with her financial planning advice. She is very responsive and helpful whenever I need her helps with my insurance advice or claims. Her advice is tailored to meet my needs and she goes above and beyond to help every step of the way. She is quick to follow up on any questions that I have and is always just a text away. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with financial planning. | |  | | Dr Claris Shi. Ministry of Health I usually shy away from Financial Consultants but Ruth was so friendly and genuine, and didn’t laugh at my lack of financial planning knowledge! She took time to go through all my policies and identified areas where I needed coverage. She definitely goes above and beyond her call of duty and is so easy to talk to when I have any questions. | |  | | Erik Lane I am very lucky to have come across a consultant like Ruth. She has been very professional, reliable and has proven to be very trustworthy in our dealings. She also happens to possess a fantastic sense of humor (which of course, I appreciate tremendously).
But in all seriousness, Ruth is very dependable and always has my back, despite the hour of the day. She has proven this on more than just one occasion. I would recommend Ruth highly as I do not know of a more professional consultant amongst those that work with my peers. | |  | | Jerome Koay Ruth was my ex-colleague on the same team many years ago. We reconnected when I found out she had joined Prudential and I needed some help with reassessing my financial goals and status.
Ruth is professional, reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. She is also always empathetic and takes time to understand the financial goals I want to achieve and matches the different financial tools available with a high level of professionalism.
If you are looking for someone who is here for the long haul and someone who takes time to understand your needs and helps you to achieve your goals, I would definitely say that Ruth is the person to go to.
Wishing her all the best success! | | | | |
