遊民畫家泊仔送的畫像，在左圖中白鳥的右下方，就是他自己。
我想我是一個認真的人，有時候到了嚴肅的地步。還記得剛入小學的第一課就是ㄅㄆㄇㄈ，老師說下週要考，可是一週過去了，我還沒全學會，急得不得了，回家就發燒了，媽媽還得幫我惡補。下星期老師竟然完全忘了考試這回事！而我至今餘悸猶存。
最近一位好友退休，她在嚴肅這件事上比我更勝一籌，在我們為她舉行的餐會中一絲不苟地討論未來生活的意義，我勸她不必急，不妨先混一混。李豐（寫《我賺了四十年》的那位台大醫師）在電話上聽了我的轉述，大笑道：「你混得怎樣？」我說：「不錯啊！」她卻不以為然：「我聽妳聲音就知道妳還是那樣，說話太快了！」幾十年來她一直勸我慢下來。慢才能品味生活，才能靜攬人生，才能修鍊身心。
不僅需要調整步調，我也想改變自己的寫作風格，輕鬆一點，閒適一點，更多一點生活，多一點感覺。渴望有自己的部落格，不被字數、時尚、市場、刊物風格、主編好惡綁住。大部分是為自己寫吧，也為了分享，至於未來，就交給上天了。

On July 1, after several 11-hour sessions, the UN General Assembly voted unanimously to create a new entity, UN Women, subtitled “UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women,” by combining four existing administrative units dealing with women’s issues. A new post of under-secretary general, very likely a woman and No. 3 in the UN chain of command, will be created to head the new body.
In the meantime, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) also decided to have gender equality and the empowerment of women as one of its annual themes. On July 2, after a week of intensive discussions, The DESA declared it would concentrate its efforts on improving women’s access to the formal economic system and participation in decision-making, eliminating violence against women, increasing education opportunities, stamping out illiteracy, improving women’s health, ending sexual discrimination and increasing access to microcredit. Hamidon Ali, president of ECOSOC, explained, "Gender equality is crucial to all aspects of economic growth."
