人生不必太多計劃，機會來了，抓緊便好—香港著名溫情漫畫家馬仔
「馬仔」是女人，香港很紅的漫畫家，真名是劉海欣。剛去中環的三聯書店，想買她的作品，店員說：「都賣光了！」馬仔的「正職」是家庭主婦，有一子一女，女兒升上小學，她更忙，和她喝茶後，她說：「趕去超市了！」 馬仔年輕，不過作品形式是傳統的「方格漫畫」，沒有長篇故事，短短幾幅的生花妙筆，雋永地描繪倫理關係、人情世故。這類漫畫最難的地方是令讀者看罷數格，會說「很動人」、「很過癮」、「很可愛」。馬仔做到了，漫畫裏的主角，頭大身小、頑皮討喜、嘴巴挑剔月旦。

網路會議是「宅經濟」，還是「社交距離」—你開會成敗的生死穴
九十年代，律師樓的一個見習生告訴我：「香港的空間有限，我想去深圳發展。」問他公司的名字，他說：「剛起步的公司叫『騰訊』。」當年，深圳街上是農村來的「農民工」、還有光顧「足浴」的港客；今天，見習生已成科技城市深圳騰訊的重要高層。也在九十年代，一位前輩告訴我：「香港法律容許『水貨』存在，有一家日本百貨剛結業，我打算在那裏開一家大型化妝品水貨店。」結果他比時代走快了，最終失敗；今天，因為遊客湧增，大型水貨店卻滿街都是。 事事如棋局局新。Online conference (網路會議) 將是時代的下一巨浪？你會在它的前端或後面？灣仔展覽中心說：「豈有此理」；「Zoom」說：「好戲在後頭」。
