When our thoughts are cor rected, our attitudes will be transformed because our origi nal thinking will be restored. This will ignite our leadership spirit and enable us to fulfill our leadership potential.

The principle was clear: The company honored only the work of an authorized dealer in regard to repairs, and any violation of this agreement would cancel the warranty. When a manufacturer addresses the issue of repair ing a problem with its product, it has its authorized deal ers take care of the situation because they represent the O UR THINKING CREATES OUR LIVES .
