The Shortcut High Performers Use to Stay Ahead

Dear Lovely Human,

Credibility…. travels ahead of you!

It doesn’t come from titles or job descriptions but the hard calls you are willing to make when others stay silent.

It comes from the nights you showed up when no one else did.
From staying in the room when it got uncomfortable — and people remember.

Credibility lingers in a room, like good perfume, long after you have left!

That’s why credibility is a shortcut.
It opens doors, wins trust, and makes people listen before you’ve even said a word.

And here’s the twist: the longer you’ve been in the game, every win, every scar, every reinvention adds to your credibility account.

Used well, it doesn’t just keep you in the game.
It puts you ahead.

Credibility isn’t a moment—it’s compounded over seasons of you showing up!

 How do I broaden my Global Worldview? Singapore (Part 3)

Every month we focus on one country. Our current focus is on Singapore.

Singapore is a place where celebration never sleeps. Here, every culture shows up — loudly, proudly, and often all at once. The city’s soul isn’t found only in its buildings or its business districts, but in its parades, processions, and the uncle who insists you stay for “just one more” kueh.

Last weekend, Arjun found himself at the Chingay Parade — Singapore’s annual explosion of multiculturalism. Lion dancers met Bollywood moves. Malay drummers marched beside Peranakan stilt walkers. It was a street parade turned spiritual metaphor: if you want to understand Singapore, watch how it moves.

Even everyday rituals felt like theatre. During Thaipusam, he stood in silence as barefoot devotees carried towering kavadis down Serangoon Road — a test of endurance and devotion. Later, he wandered into Little India during Deepavali, where oil lamps glowed like constellations, and sari shops shimmered in technicolor.

And when Hari Raya Puasa arrived, his Muslim neighbor delivered him homemade rendang and invited him to visit the mosque — not as a tourist, but as a friend.

In Singapore, festivals aren't isolated events. They're a living, pulsing calendar of community. There’s no one “right” way to celebrate — only shared space and shared wonder.

Credibility is the one shortcut you can’t fake — it travels ahead of you.

You can borrow ideas, but you can’t borrow credibility.

Every credible scar, win or reinvention compounds into currency worth more than money.

If you’ve been in the game long, a credible track record is your unfair advantage.
