Who Moved My Cheese?

One sunny Sunday in Chicago, a group of ex classmates went together for lunch to catch up on each other’s lives. They started talking about how some of them were dealing with change and Michael tells the group a story about change that changed him and saved his company.

There are four characters, Sniff and Scurry (who happened to be mice) and two little people who were named Hem and Haw, the four of them where in a maze looking for delicious cheese but something happens and it’s called changed.

First, the book basically talks about how we overcome or deal with change that happens to us, the author is using cheese as a metaphor for what you want in life, money, good relationships, family or just a good work, with cheese we feel that our lives are fulfilled but when is taken away from us people react differently to change, for example Hem and Haw stood and wondered why was that happening to them but there are other kind of people that react like Sniff and Scurry, they analyze the situation as soon as possible and figure out a way to move on and get it back.

In contrast, it does not matter if it is in the work place, a company, everyday life or even a government, change has to be always contemplated because as cheesy as it sounds “hope for the best, expect for the worst and take what comes” because only mediocre people are the ones who instead of trying to solve the problems they complain about it and believe me that this country is full of mediocre people, they key is to anticipate change, adapt quickly and enjoy change.

In addition, sometimes you get bored of the same cheese or it gets rotten so every once in a while smell it to see if it keeps fulfilling you, old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese so movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese, what is also mainly important is to notice small changes so you can get adapted for bigger ones, the faster you learn to let go of a situation the faster you will move on because the entire human race loves to get hooked on a situation and instead of moving forward they hold on to it, as if it will solve something.

We all know that walking the path to find new ways can be frustrating but think about it, it is better to be on the maze rather than being cheeseless because even though that you might not get where you want you may found a new type of cheese that pleases you.

Overall, we have to modify our view on change because when we get confortable in our environment and change happens, we act as if the world is going to end and there is no solution so Move with the Cheese and enjoy it!
