There had been time, like from my 23 to 31 years of age, that I had loved trying different things. When I found something interesting or worth doing, I quit what I had been doing and just went for it. That period had been extremely important because what I had achieved had given me enough confidence to overcome obstacles, to ignore how other thought about me, and to encourage myself to become better. I love challenging, I never choose easy paths. If anybody heard someone saying Eugene's picking up easy parts, that would never be me for sure. 

I've been also very fortunate to have encountered friends who have positive mindset and are always encouraging. They were the key roles having made me the way I am now, even they might not know it.

But now it's probably about time to dig what are in my hand deeper and make them more profound, more meaningful, instead of trying things all the time like before. It definitely doesn't mean that I'm getting mentally older. Not sure what I'm trying to describe, but perhaps just like birds knowing when to migrate, it's time to be steady, take root deeper and nourish what I am doing right now. This change of me, I truly believe it's for a big good cause.

Last year my wife and I went to Cambodia, we saw poverty, economic inequality, however, people still struggle to learn as many languages as they can to earn small wages for a living. That reminded me of how fortunate I was and how I should be grateful for what I had been given.

This year my life has come to a big change. Finally I resigned from the carmaker I had been working for six years and eight months because of numerous reasons and have received an offer from a bigger international company. Before the starting of New job, I spent one week visiting Kyoto with my wife. Here I saw an advanced, organised society, a society where its people get their jobs done properly and even beautifully, where drivers overtake cyclists while keeping a safe distance, where streets are clean, where people truly care about how to nurture pupils' creativity and knowledge of how the world works.

I think it's an ideal place I have been eager to live in, though I'm not sure how much I know this place. Indeed, every society has its own problem, but in Taiwan, the government does not care about economic and social development as well as welfare of people. In Taiwan we don't know what to show to visitors from other countries, we don't know what we're proud of, sometimes even don't know who we are.

Since I have been given the chance to work for the new company. I have a new hope that I'm able to give better life for my family and better education for my kids. I wish my kids leaving Taiwan and getting to know the world, earn a living in a country they prefer, and have a colourful life. And that means I will have to work harder, and manage my family relationship properly.

Easy to say, but I will do my best for my family.
