Today's Dose of Smile-Therapy

If you had to back up your good name and what it stands for, just how far would you be willing to go? This was a question once faced by Thomas Edison.
 
Edison never wanted to  be associated with any inferior or faulty product. So when he learned  that a battery produced by his laboratory in 1905 was defective, he immediately snapped into action. The inventor announced that he would provide a refund to anyone who had purchased the imperfect battery. That ultimately amounted to $1 million- which would be approximately $20,000,000 today.
 
What’s more, Edison took the situation so personally, that he refunded the money from his own pocket. It was a powerful demonstration of the concern Edison had for his hard earned reputation.  What’s your reputation worth?
 
Notes: Obviously not everyone could afford to absorb such a mistake. The idea however, to stand behind your product( name) is noble and perhaps it’s intent, is something society could use more of.
