朱平有一種感染力，就像他對台灣的時尚抱著一股「興學」的熱情。1995年獨家引進紐約環保品牌AVEDA，自創「肯夢」公司，朱平總是在幕後冷眼看時尚台前的人來人去。朱平不喜歡頭銜，也不給自己任何標籤。
肯夢「介於家和工作場所」的辦公室，設計得很「五星級」，廚房、浴室，一應俱全。朱平笑著說，我把這裡弄得舒服自在，算是送給鄰居的禮物，這正是朱平性格 裡的幸福「歸屬感」。除了AVEDA的美容事業，朱平還開了一家「非零」Cafe Nonzero餐廳，供應有機農產品。
更多時候的朱平以「文化創意人」自居，尊重設計、創意及關心生活裡的美。他打破傳統美髮業學徒制，興辦「肯夢美髮學院」。朱平說，1540小時的課程，美髮的學生不應該只有技術，他鼓勵學生參與討論、互相激勵，多讀書。
保持每天跑步1小時的朱平說，人到中年還要有型，第一件事就是不能挺個鮪魚肚。他的下個目標是10公里馬拉松。
談起時尚，他的經驗是，不妨先從認識幾個自己喜歡的設計師著手。有一次，朱平穿了一件日本「解構」大師川久保玲的夾克，餐廳的印度侍者忍了很久，小心翼翼 地提醒「衣服穿反了」。啼笑皆非的朱平的結論是，時尚不必太嚴肅；「準備一雙紅鞋吧！」朱平笑了，你知道的，它終有派上用場的時候。
Dear Stella:
Thank you for the powerful short comment on this article.
Please have a goal in your life. My goal now is to take the Triathlon in 2010. I don’t know if I can make it. However, now, I have one more reason to take my daily run.
I also need to train myself with swimming and bicycling.
Please focus on things that you can control. Running or any physical fitness is the thing you can control. Once you decided, no one can stop you. You just need to get up a little bit earlier or block time to do it no matter what.
We only live once, why not live the way we want to and choose to.
Thank you for loving yourself a little bit more. 🙂
Ping
Dear Freda:
Thank you for you compliment. Frankly speaking, I just like this brilliant red shade. This shoe just like a hand glove to my feet. The high quality leather is soft and comfortable.
I bought this pair of shoes not just for the fashion statement but also for the super comfy.
Love,
Ping
If I follow your way to work my job, I trust work is amazing and more beautiful absolutely.
believe or not, red is the color of this season. ha! just so you know, Ping really is in the trend.
