Harmony & Prosperity in Self-Controlled People!
Exercise self-control to bring harmony and prosperity!
Self control, which is the basis for our company name Selco, is placed at the center of
our
philosophy. We place importance on the attitude of being self disciplined and taking the
initiative to accomplish things rather than being told to do so by others.
I believe that is how we have been able to improve our own skills and attain growth as
people.
We also value personal spiritual and technical growth and harmony between people. We aim
to
be people with good hearts who derive our own happiness from the happiness of
others.
When we have become an ideal company made up of an elite few who practice self-control
and
achieve harmony through coexistence and co-prosperity, I think we will surely be able to
be
a small and highly-profitable company.
For all our employees to achieve material and spiritual happiness and to preserve that
happiness indefinitely, Selco will continue to make unceasing efforts in this tumultuous
world, and continue to evolve and develop.
The Spirit of Self-Control
I solemnly swear,that without anger, fear or sadness,
and with an honest, kind and pleasant heart,
while embracing power, courage and conviction,
I will take responsibility for my own life,
never lose sight of peace and love,
and live an amazing life.
Sensei Tempu Nakamura
The Spirit of Coexistence and Co-prosperity (Harmony)
First give to others, and you will also receive.
First let people flourish, and you will also flourish.
Profit is something that people allow you to have.
Prosperity is something that people give you.
People won't give to those who only think of themselves.
Nobuji Kobayashi, Former Chairman
