Hi Petra. Truer words have never been spoken. Without credibility you have nothing. Take Care…Don

“According to the dictionary, in order for something to be credible, it must be "worthy of being believed." Trust as a concept related to belief can be seen in everything from driving a car, to the framework of a government. Without credibility, there would be no trust; facts would not be called facts, and the entire world would be in chaos.”

“Prejudgments and decisions are made through credibility as well. A good example of this can be seen in the world of literature today. When deciding whether or not to read a book about aliens by an author with no written history, as opposed to a New York Times top 10 author, surely the more reputable author's book would be chosen, even though both books might accomplish their purpose).. Having a good reputation is very important in increasing credibility.”
