Who moved the cheese is an irrelevant question but the important thing is that the cheese has been moved and what are the options now. We often over-analyze things and waste time in ‘Why this happened’. But the key lesson here is that the change has happened, so go with the flow and plan accordingly.
One Character had found the story of Who Moved My Cheese and credited that story as a rich source of help and guidance in navigating the changes of life.
The name of that story happened to be ‘Who Moved My Cheese.’ Included in the story, ‘Who Moved My Cheese,’ were four characters, the mice: Sniff and Scurry and the little people: Hem and Haw.
Introduction
Who Moved My Cheese is a book talking metaphorically about a parable that reveals astonishing truths about change. It is a story about adjusting at the many transitions and changes that will occur in your life. The changes might occur in your workplace, relationship, community, money, possessions and freedom. The book is a guide to adapting to change because things change every time and the only way to survive is by learning to adapt.
Who moved my cheese is an easy and complex story involving four imaginary friend, the mice who are ‘Sniff and ‘Scurry and the little people are ‘Hem and ‘Haw. The little people represent the hard and accessible parts of our lives regardless of race, gender or age. Sniff is a smart mouse who recognizes change early, and Scurry decides to take action about change. The four little characters lived in a land where they searched for cheese for survival and happiness. They had a daily routine where they would run through the maze in search of exceptional cheese. The two mice had restrained brains, but good instincts. They could sniff out the place and dig it hoping to find the cheese they liked so much. The little people had complex brains but full of emotions and beliefs which they used to find their peculiar cheese. Both mice and little people had a routine where they could wake up every morning and run, sniff and look for cheese. They finally found the cheese, but the two mice kept their daily routine looking for more and looking for any changes.
As I really began to analyze my life a little more I realized that I had more than one "Cheese" and all of my "Cheese's" have been moved, sometimes more than once.
