新的十年
First of all, let me on behalf of the board of directors send you the sincerest thanks. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the company, I want to spend some time recalling the past, our past. The immediate feelings that come to my mind are: enthusiasm, commitment, respect, responsibility, passion and overall love, these are our greatest assets. Standing on the stage of the 10-Year Anniversary celebration, I am deeply touched, remembering the time when I decided to give up my job in USA as the GM of IMC with full working conditions and benefits, in order to return to China once again to start our very own business and brand ICC a dream I had that was unfulfilled and seek new distributors and persuade people about our dream and eventually be able to hire personnel with a promising future in a country full of opportunities but certainly some challenges and do something different and unique that had never been done before.
首先，讓我代表董事會向你們致以最誠摯的感謝。在公司的十周年之際，我想花點時間回顧一下過去，我們的過去。我腦海中馬上浮現的感受是：熱情、承諾、尊重、責任、激情和滿滿的愛，這些是我們最大的財富。站在十周年慶典的舞臺上，我感慨萬千，回憶起當初我決定放棄美國IMC總經理那個帶著優越的工作條件和福利的職位，就是為了再次回到中國，開始我們自己的事業和ICC品牌這個我未竟的夢，去尋找新的經銷商并說服人們相信我們的夢想，最終廣聘良才，為他們在這個充滿機遇但是同樣也充滿挑戰的國家描繪一個光明的未來，一起做一些以前從未做過的、與眾不同的和獨特的事情。
Ten years have passed in a moment, on a blink of an eye; 10 years ago, there were colleagues who had just graduated with lack of experience and also just a handful of limited experienced ones. All of these people have created the miracle of our company ICC. Over the past ten years, these people have given ICC their most precious youth, have grown to become some of the best professionals in the industry and took our Company from an unnamed entity to a well-known brand, becoming a key player in the biggest and most demanding Ceramic Industry and market in the world: China.
轉眼間，十年過去了。十年前，有的同事剛剛畢業，經驗不足，經驗略豐富的只有少數。正是所有這些人創造了ICC的奇跡。在過去的十年里，這些人將最寶貴的青春獻給了ICC，成長為行業中一些最優秀的專業人士，使我們的公司從一個無名的企業變成了一個知名品牌，在世界上最大、要求最苛刻的陶瓷行業和市場——中國，成為了關鍵的參與者。
10 years have passed, and we must say goodbye to the glorious past, a past that was full of accomplishments as well as a few shortcomings and falls but we never gave up on our dream and our goals, every time we failed and fell we stood up. We had the passion, we shared the hardships that we have had always sticking to our core values as a brand: Innovation, Differentiation, Integrity and Honesty to name a few, which are also some of our most valuable assets. I believe that after 10 years, when our children grow up, be more knowledgeable, we will have the eligibility to tell them that we have strived, made a huge effort and persisted for the very survival and life of our company and business; we have proven our capability and value, we have reached the peak of ourselves, we have lived and lived without absolutely any regret!
10年過去了，我們必須告別輝煌的過去，一個充滿成就同時也有一些不足和失敗的過去，但我們從未放棄我們的夢想和我們的目標，每一次失敗和跌倒，我們站起來。我們充滿激情，同舟共濟，我們一直堅持我們作為一個品牌的核心價值觀：創新，差異化，正直，誠信，等等，這些也是我們最寶貴的資產。我相信，10年后，當我們的孩子長大了，更有見識的時候，我們將有資格告訴他們，我們曾為企業和事業的生存和發展奮斗過，付出了巨大的努力和堅持；我們已經證明了自己的能力和價值，我們已經達到了自己的巔峰，我們活過，活得沒有任何遺憾！
Now we welcome the future ten years, and I perfectly understand that you may question yourselves on what can we rely on for the next ten years? There are only two very simple words: Strive Forward! We will pave the way to “The New One”, the new beginning, chapter, era, and discovery, of our corporate future life, always respecting our values.
現在，我們歡迎未來的十年，我完全理解你們可能會問自己，在未來的十年里，我們能依靠什么？只有兩個非常簡單的詞：奮進！我們將為我們“新的十年”鋪平道路，為我們企業的未來生命開辟新的起點、新的篇章、新的紀元、新的發現，將一如既往地尊重我們的價值觀。
ICC family members, for every employee and distributor to be able to fulfill their own dreams is ICC’s ultimate goal, as well as my responsibility and mission, let us stretch our arms wide for the promising future that await us in front. Thanks to everyone for making the journey smooth and easy. Let us keep on inspiring others and make the journey glamorous.
ICC家庭的成員們，讓每一位員工和經銷商能夠實現自己的夢想，是ICC的最終目標，也是我的責任和使命，讓我們張開雙臂，迎接前方充滿希望的未來。感謝大家讓旅程順利而輕松。讓我們繼續激勵他人，讓旅程充滿魅力。
You are surely destined for one of the biggest corporate successes stories in the history of our ceramic industry. A big round of applause for all the fantastic employees like you who made this company incredible. Without your help, the company would have never accomplished anything. Happy anniversary to your hard-built company. Congratulations on achieving all the glories and the triumphs which are yet to come!
你們注定將成為我們陶瓷行業歷史上最傳奇的成功企業故事之一的一部分。熱烈的掌聲獻給所有像你們一樣出色的員工，是你們讓這家公司變得不可思議。沒有你們的幫助，公司無法取得任何成就。祝你們辛苦建設的公司周年快樂。為取得的和即將到來的，所有榮耀和勝利而祝賀！
“And yes, I want to temp you to swim against the tide, I want to pass on to you and others, the younger generations, the taste of hard work, commitment, love and passion for improvement, for investing and opening a new brand, extend and enlarge it, not for the sake of making money out of it, but to give a root to an idea, the idea of the vitality of things that are well made and being sold well”
是的，我希望你們逆流而上，我想傳遞給你們和其他人以及年輕一代，為了進步，為了投資和開創一個新品牌，為了它的發展和壯大而努力工作的味道，承諾、熱愛和激情的味道。不是為了從中賺錢，而是為了一個理念的生根發芽，這個理念就是制作精良的東西是具有生命力的、也會賣得更好。
Respectfully
Humberto Valles
ICC General Manager
