Who Moved My Cheese?

My sis shared a video at FB few days ago. I read this book few years back, and wow! Video is a much more powerful tool to convey message than books.



Below is the link to the 11min video.

Here is the abstract of the book.

Who Moved My Cheese? Is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change.It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters that live in a 'Maze' and look for 'Cheese' to nourish them and make them happy.

Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are little people' - beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw. 'Cheese' is a metaphor for what you want to have in life - whether it's a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, good health, or spiritual peace of mind. And 'The Maze' is where you look for what you want – the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in.

In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls.
When you come to see 'The Handwriting on the Wall', you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.

Writings on the wall!
1.       Having cheese makes you happy!
2.       The more important the cheese is to you, the more you want to hold onto it!
3.       What will you do if you weren’t afraid?
4.       Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old.
5.       When you move beyond your fear, you feel FREE!
6.       When you change what you believe, you change what you do!
7.       Change happens, they keep moving the cheese!
8.       Anticipate change, smell the cheese often, so you know when it is getting old!
9.       Adapt to change quickly, the quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese!
10.   Enjoy change, savor the adventure and enjoy the taste of new cheese!
11.   Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again…they keep moving the cheese!
