He wasowner of the dealership and son ofthe woman who so desperately requireddirections. His primary remarkwas that he wanted to be sureto associate with businesses in hiscommunity that demonstrated havinga heart for doing good. I believethe reason for earning back such agreat gift of business and complimentwas because the gift of directionswas freely given and withoutcondition.A New ConcentrationIt is my contention that many goodand powerful things could quicklyoccur for our industry if its memberbusinesses concentrated on giving.Consider extending a helping hand tohelp other businesses within your areato become better businesses. Gettingall companies involved with the AutoGlass Replacement Safety Standard(AGRSS) Council, increasing associationmemberships and participation,providing training and being involvedwith the community are examples of ahelping hand. As stated by one glassshop owner, “We will always be surroundedby competition. It should beour responsibility to determine if it’sgood or bad competition!” If everyoneparticipates, this is a great form of givingand everyone involved can feelgood about the effort extended. This isdemonstrating the heart of doing good!May you, your family and friendsbe blessed with a peaceful and rewardingholiday season! ■◗Carl Tompkins is the Western states areamanager for Sika Corp. in MadisonHeights, Mich.
