Because she was afraid of change like Hem for and had passed it to her
children without knowing it
In our life, we should let go of our old behavior and brave enough to
face changes be because society is changing constantly. Only if we make
changes can we keep pace with the times and adapt to the changing society

Who Moved My Cheese?(excerpt)
The group was quiet as several people thought about their own lives.
“Well,” Jessica said, “most people here are talking about jobs, but as I listened to the story, I thought about my personal life. I think my current relationship is the ‘old Cheese' that has some pretty serious mold on it.”
Cory laughed in agreement. “Me too. I probably need to let go of a bad relationship. ”
Angela countered,“Or, perhaps the ‘old Cheese' is just old behavior. What we really need to let go of is the behavior that is the cause of our bad relationship. And then move on to a better way of thinking and acting. ”
“Ouch! ” Cory reacted.“Good point. The ‘New Cheese' is a new relationship with the same person.”
Richard said,“I'm beginning to think there is more to this than I thought.I like the idea of letting go of old behavior instead of letting go of the relationship.Repeating the same behavior will just get you the same results.”
“As far as work goes, maybe instead of changing jobs I should be changing the way I am doing my job. I'd probably have a better position by now if I did.”
Then Becky, who lived in another city but had returned for the reunion, said,“As I was listening to the story and to everyone's comments here, I've had to laugh at myself. I've been like Hem for so long, hemming and hawing and afraid of change. I didn't realize how many other people did this as well. I'm afraid I've passed it on to my children without even knowing it.”
“As I think about it, I realize change really can lead you to a new and better place, although you're afraid it won't at the time.”
“I remember a time when our son was a sophomore in high school. My husband's job required us to move from Illinois to Vermont and our son was upset because he had to leave his friends. He was a star swimmer and the high school in Vermont had no swim team. So, he was angry with us for making him move.”
“As it turned out, he fell in love with the Vermont Mountains, took up skiing, skied on his college team and now lives happily in Colorado. ”
“If we had all enjoyed this Cheese story together, over a cup of hot chocolate,we could have saved our family a lot of stress.”
Jessica said, “Yes. I'm going home to tell my family this story. I'll ask my children who they think I am—Sniff, Scurry, Hem or Haw—and who they feel they are. We could talk about what we feel our family's ‘Old Cheese' is and what
the ‘New Cheese'could be.”
“That's a good idea,” Richard said, surprising everyoneeven himself.
Frank then commented,“I think I'm going to be more like Haw and move with the Cheese and enjoy it! And I'm going to pass this story along to my friends who are worried about leaving the military and what the change might mean to them. It could lead to some interesting discussions.
Michael said, “Well, that's how we improved our business. We had several discussions about what we got from the Cheese
story and how we could apply it to our situation.”
“It was great because we had language that was fun for us to use to talk about how we were dealing with change. It was very effective, especially as it spread deeper into the company.”,导语:斯宾塞·约翰逊(Spencer Johnson)全球最受欢迎的作家之一。他的作品包括《谁动了我的奶酪?》《Who Moved My Cheese?》、《一分钟经理》(The on minute manager)等系列丛书。《谁动了我的奶酪?》是个简单的寓言故事,内容充满了人生中有关变化寓意深长的真理。内容是在描绘四个住在“迷宫”里的人物,他们竭尽所能地在寻找滋养他们身心、使他们快乐的“奶酪”的过程。
