Who Moved My Cheese?
What i like about this book is, it is thin! You can finish it in less than a day. Yeah!
BUT
This small book contains huge messages for us to deal with changes in our life.
Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw are the 4 imaginary characters in this book. All of them live in a Maze to find Cheeses. Maze in this book means life. A world full of uncertainty and hardship. The Cheese is what we want to find in our life. It is our dreams which are success, happiness, love, and everything that we want to have a better life. But how far we dare to catch our dream? Many of us are afraid to change because we are afraid of failure. And the fear keeps us from doing anything, from moving forward. All of the four characters show examples of people in adapting to change in their life.
And these are the things that I learnt from this book.
1. Have faith!
Live is certainly as a Maze! It is not a straight passage. We sometime confuse and lost when we face new things. We are uncertain about the choice that we made because we cant see where the path lead us. We sometime work hard to move forward, but we found a dead end! We didn't have courage to continue our journey because we afraid of facing the same failure. We afraid of leaving our comfort zone because we know we cant do it. But, the book teach me to have FAITH and keep moving! Have faith that one day your dream will come true and you will have a better life. Have faith that there is an exit of every problems but we need to find it.
2. What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Try to imagine if there was no fear in our heart. "Yes, if I'm not being afraid, I will shine. I will be who I really want to be! I will succeed, I will get the job, my relationship will become better." But it is the FEAR that hold us to be who we really want to be. And for those who never try, the path seems impossible. But when you stop being afraid, you feel good and the path become easier. And, "The quicker you let go of Old Cheese, the sooner you will find New Cheese!"
3. Take the changing situation seriously, but do not take yourself too seriously.
Why? Because everybody makes mistake in life. And even we do not make mistake, sometime
we still face the failure. Thus, do not despair and blame yourself. Accept the failure, and keep moving!
