The hardest decision I've ever made is about whether I should come back to Taiwan in 2001. Back then I was working for a marketing company in Fremont, California. Just as other companies in Silicon Valley suffering a big downturn mostly due to the bubble economy in the US, my company couldn't avoid starting to lay people off in order to keep in business.

Just before I was locked in, I was a bit conscious that I might be shown the door somewhere down the line. On second thought, I would be luckily to be the one to stay employed. I didn't know about it, and there was nothing I could do.

Things had turned so unclearly that each and every day of my staying on my job was a torture for me. I was getting so tired of waiting for the outcome and it had made me go schizophrenic. Therefore, I decided to submit my resignation to my boss one day. He was shocked in the first place. But soon after that, he didn't say too much and proved my request. I got everything wrapped up and left the US in one month.That's the hardest decision I've made as yet.
