1. World's Top 5 Insurance Companies
“I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the
best.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Insurance helps us to do exactly what this quote
suggests. We all face many kinds of risks: risk of
meeting with an accident, falling sick, being a
victim of a natural disaster or fire, and above all
risk of life. All these risks not only come with
pain and suffering but also hurt financially.
Insurance is one way of being prepared for the
worst
