Insurance】From the existence of risk.
You must have heard the words "unpredictable situation, people have disasters and good fortune" and "preparing for a rainy day"!!


In our daily life, we often encounter unpredictable accidents and natural disasters, such as theft and car accident. , such as earthquakes, floods, accidents, and natural disasters, these uncertain events, we call risks.

Insurance: Definition and Types

The so-called insurance means that the proposer pays the insurance premium to the insurer according to the contract, and the insurer is responsible for paying the insurance money for the loss caused by the insured accident stipulated in the contract.

Exploring its essence, insurance is a social arrangement, in which people facing risks are organized through insurers to collectively undertake possible risks. When the insured suffers a loss, they can get compensation from the insurance money.


In other words, one person's loss is shared by everyone, that is, "everyone is for me, I am for everyone", it can be seen that insurance is essentially a mutual aid behavior. 

Main work of insurance

Insurance is actually a kind of preparation: When you are healthy, prepare when you are sick, when you are young, prepare when you are old, when you can, prepare when you are not, and that's it. 

Because anyone, no matter how powerful he is, there are three things in his life that cannot be guaranteed:

  • There is no guarantee of eternal health
  • No guarantee that you will always be rich
  • There is no guarantee that you will always be able to take care of your family.

Just like a car needs a spare tire, a house needs a fire extinguisher, and a ship needs a lifebuoy. In the face of these risks, insurance or savings are a management method for people to cope with future uncertain risks, and the purpose is to ensure normal life in the future.
The difference is that saving is to keep the risk to yourself, relying on personal accumulation to deal with future risks, it does not need any cost, but it may also fall into the dilemma of insufficient protection.


Insurance is a method of transferring the risks faced, relying on collective financial resources to deal with losses caused by risks, and providing sufficient protection. But at the same time, insurance has to pay a certain price, namely the premium.
