21 hrs confidence: your life and your glory, our profits for our triumph together
Explanation:
I'd love to try this out... actually, it reads more like advertising material for financial products than literary content
共存共榮，互利共生是我們的理念，您耀眼的成果也代表著我們的榮耀
It sounds a little awkward in English if I were to list out 共存共榮﹐互利共生 fully, so I've added more words to it to prop it up a little. Also, the words are not too literally translated, and so, it may not be that accurate, as I do not know the context of your translation.
_________
We believe in sharing in everything with you - your life and your glory, our profits for our triumph together. Your brilliant success is a testament to our own achievements.
共存共榮 - your life and your glory
互利共生 - our profits for our triumph together
If you've noticed, I've translated 共生 into triumph. Literally speaking, it should be survival, but sometimes survival can also be interpreted as prevailing/victory over life/difficulties.
Well, hope this helps!

44 days confidence: In prosperity and for mutual benefits we live together.
Explanation:
假若是從英翻中的角度來看，標語多以簡潔有力為訴求
而中文可能會多加喧染些，不盡然百分百符合原文字義
所以我的譯文也是簡短為主，點到重點即可
In prosperity and for mutual benefits we live together.
或是，
Living together in prosperity and for mutual benefits.
希望對您有所幫助～
