New Year message from Tetsuo Taga, the president of Dymco, a steel belt supplier

New Year message from Tetsuo Taga, the president of Dymco, a steel belt supplier

Happy New Year !
Since Dymco established 32 years ago in the year of the Japanese calendar Showa 61 (1986), we have experienced fluctuating economic condition. However, we had good business performance last year (Heisei 30) thanks to all the people who supported Dymco in various opportunity.
In the year of Heisei 1 (1989), consumption tax 3 % was enforced, and consumption tax 10 % is anticipated this year.

The year of Kanji (Chinese character) in 2018 was “WAZAWAI” meaning misfortune. Series of typhoon, heavy rain, and flood have hit the Japanese Archipelago last year. It is crucial for a business administrator how to steer the company in dramatically changing economic climate. Heisei will terminate, and the new era name will be announced in May this year. 

Tokyo Olympic/Paralympic is coming in 2020. Seeing those events, I made a resolution to behave myself like a strong leader.
Let me present 10 maxims of self-reproach I found last year at Zenko-ji temple in Nagano City. 

/ When a man thinks himself as a cultivated person,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man being polite,
/ When a man thinks himself as an intelligent person,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man of no desire,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man having human touch,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man not being brazen,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man of spirit,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man of cooperativeness,
/ When a man thinks himself as a man of good sense,
//the man is under the illusion that it is true.
/Intending minimum wastefulness turn to be maximum waste.

These phrases sank into my heart.
May the new year bring you happiness!
