Who Moved My Cheese???

Most people heard about the best-selling book titled "Who Moved My Cheese?"
It is written by Dr. Spencer Johnson and is one of the most successful business book ever. It is a very short short and simple story that can takes only about 30 - 60 minutes to read.

It is a story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Two were mice named Sniff and Scurry. Another two were littlepeople named Hem and Haw. Everyday, the four characters will find their own special cheese in the maze. One day, all four characters find their cheese in Cheese Station C. Every morning after that, the mice and littlepeople headed over to Cheese Station C. They become very comfortable that they had found the cheese. One day, they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there were no cheese.

The mice were not surprised as they had noticed the supply had been getting smaller everyday. They decided to change because the situation in Cheese Station C changed. They quickly off in the maze to find New Cheese.

The two littlepeople were unprepared for what they found as they did not pay attention to the small changes that happened everyday. While the two mice had quickly moved on, the two littlepeople ranted and raved at the injustice of it all. Everyday, Hem and Haw returned to Cheese Station C hoping that someone would put back their cheese. One day, Haw realized that they keep doing the same thing over and over again and wonder why things don't get better. Finally, he realized they're never going to put yesterday's Cheese back and it's time to find new cheese. Thus, off he go to find new cheese. Before long, he found he greatest supply of Cheese in New Cheese Station N. He found his old friend (two mice) with fat little bellies which showed that they had been here for some time. As Haw recalled what he had learned, he thought of his friends Hem.
I found that the keyword of the book is "CHANGE".
Cheese is what you want in life - good job, loving relationship, wealth, or health.
Maze is where you look for what you want - organization, family or community.
Sometimes, things change and they are never the same again. That's life! Life moves on. And so should we.
