I've been anxiously waiting for The Word tonight.
As people around these parts well know, I've been yammering about the musical Harmony for the last few months here, the Barry Mannilow-Bruce Sussman show I'd seen 16 years ago in a San Diego pre-Broadway tryout that's been given a second life at the Tony-winning Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. I happen to know a couple of people who live in Atlanta, and so ever since I hear that the show as going to be playing there, I've been ranting to them about getting tickets. They finally gave in and bought tickets a week ago. That's was great, but then the stakes went up. While I was aware that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution had given it a rave, I knew my personally credibility was on the line because I’d been going on about it so hard, pushing them not to miss the opportunity. And this was someone I knew who had put up hard, cold cash. The tickets were for tonight, and all day was thumb-twiddling time. I just got a note back from the wife – “Harmony was Wonderful!!!! Still needs work but the goods are there. So glad u encouraged me to go - Gracias !” PHEW! I’m off the hook…! And nice to know that I sometimes do know what I'm talking about. Watch this space...

An individual lives or dies based on his credibility. If you want, you can be the world's best affluent individual. Well, personal credibility is something that is not straightforwardly created out of nothing. Openness can increase your credibility. By admitting your shortcomings frankly, you can raise your credibility. Besides that, you need to make your social media accounts consistent, develop the tendency to give compliments to other individuals, and avoid prefacing your statements so that you can avoid the risk of becoming a tenable person.
