Happy New Year!新年快乐!
There is no better way to start the New Year than making a new list of resolutions, goals, things you want to do, a fear you want to overcome or a dream that you want to realize.
如果要选择一个最好的方式来开始新的一年,没有什么比列出愿望清单,写下新一年要做的事情,要实现的目标,以及要克服的困难更好了。
At least that is in the Western World the customary thing to do.
至少这是西方人的新年传统。
On December 31st, just a few seconds before midnight you say, read out loud, or keep this things to yourself and make them your priority for the coming year. Then you have a few drinks “Sheers. Salud or Gambei” with your family and friends and you start hugging them and wishing all of them the best.
在12月31日凌晨来临前,你要将愿望清单大声念出来,让它们成为你在新一年的首要目标。然后,便和你的家人、朋友一起干杯、拥抱、相互祝福,庆贺新年的到来。
The top things that the people mention on their wish lists are:人们在愿望清单列出最多的有:
• Good Health (Personal & Family)健康(自己和家人)
• Good Fortune (Personal & Family)好运(自己和家人)
• Happiness快乐
• And last, but not least LOVE然后,相当重要的爱
I know that there are many other things that people may have on their lists but I can assure you that the top 4 answers will be the ones above.
不同的人会有不同的愿望清单,但我很肯定以上4项绝对是列于前位的。
In the case of our Industry and world economy I just want to wish the following two things without being too much of a dreamer or too conservative (I don’t know if you may agree with me or not):
对于我们陶瓷行业和世界经济我只想说两个愿望,不会太理想化也不会太保守(不知道你是否认同呢):
• I want to wish for all the Countries that have dumping cases vs the Chinese Ceramic Industry to end
• 我希望所有其他国家针对中国陶瓷行业的反倾销事件赶快结束
• I want to see the USA finally making a comeback with their economy because this will help the rest of the world as well to get better and increase the demand of ceramic tile world wide
• 我希望美国经济赶快真正复原,因为能帮助整个世界经济转好,并且提升世界市场对瓷砖的需求
If this two things improve we all will be in a much better position and I strongly believe that our industry would be in a more healthy shape.
如果这两方面能有所改善的话,我们的处境将变得更好。我也确信,我们的行业将会更健康。
I know that 2012 & 2013 years were though and many companies struggled, even some of them closed or went bankrupt.
2012年、2013年是艰难的,不少企业在奋战挣扎,一些甚至关门或倒闭。
It was extremely sad to hear that more than 60% of the companies in Spain closed an almost 50% of the Italian companies. It was very disappointing to hear that companies that were almost 20 or 30 years in business had to close.
听到西班牙有超过60%的企业,意大利几乎一半的企业关闭的消息,实在让人非常伤心。更甚的是其中有不少已经经营了20、30年。
But what I really want to wish the most is that not a single one more closes down this year not in Spain or Italy or anywhere and that our Industry will get back to the golden years of 2005-2008 where everyone was successful and nobody had to worry about losing their jobs!
其实我的最希望能实现的愿望是,不要再有工厂倒闭,无论是西班牙、意大利还是其他地方;我们的行业能回到2005-2008年的黄金时期,大家都能获得成功,没有人需要担心失业!
With Best Regards & Wishing you all the Best for 2014
向大家致以最好的问候,并祝你2014年一切顺利。
