The Athens Olympics are almost upon us. The Olympic Torch relay, which came to Japan for the first time in forty years and covers five continents for the first time ever, will soon arrive at its point of origin. We have great expectations for our Japanese athletes, and particularly look forward to seeing medals brought home by those athletes who are carrying on カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family trades.カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;
We recommend that you watch these decisive moments on large flat-screen TV that offers outstanding realism, and record these exciting scenes onto DVDs so that you can watch them again and again. We hope that those who are lucky enough to be able to go to Athens will bring home the excitement カジノシークレット 銀行出金e live events on digital cameras. Athens will be a major event venue in terms カジノシークレット 銀行出金e future カジノシークレット 銀行出金e digital appliance industry, which has become a driving force behind the recovery カジノシークレット 銀行出金e Japanese economy.
It is difficult to highlight カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family trades,カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; not only in sports, but in any highly competitive arena. The manufacturing industry, which was once referred to as the traditional Japanese カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family trade,カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; suffered from a recession that has been called the カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;10 lost years.カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; The constant and determined efforts made by companies during this time, however, along with the developments in digital technologies and other fields, are finally bearing fruit. How can we tie this experience into a full-scale recovery of カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family tradesカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;?
The key will be found in a concentration on カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;Monozukuriカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; - the art of making things. Learning from the mistakes of our overconfidence during the latter half of the 1980s and our masochistic approach during the 1990s, we should trust humbly in the power of our own カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;Monozukuri.カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; Hitachi conducts カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;Monozukuriカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; from the perspective of moving from the カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;thingsカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; themselves to the entire process of creating value in the things we make - taking on the challenge of カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;building in valueカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; with the skills of a master, and カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;creating valueカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; through advanced technologies.
The カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;teamworkカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; that ties people together is essential to achieving this goal. We must avoid losing sight of the カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family tradesカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; aspect of Japanese companies due to overemphasis on individuals, which is the mainstream approach in western countries. Appreciation from the people around us leads to true confidence in the カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;self,カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; and by bringing together the unique individuals who have become stronger as a result of this confidence, we find a power that is greater than the sum of all the parts. If we can truly get this mechanism working effectively, then we will undoubtedly be able to further increase these synergistic effects by adding to the equation individuals with different ideas, regardless of their nationality.
How far will Japan's カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family tradesカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; go? Will we see the birth of new カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family tradesカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;? I am confident that the exciting competitions in Athens will create in us an energy that will contribute to a recovery in the カジノシークレット 銀行出金uot;family tradesカジノシークレット 銀行出金uot; of the business world.
