    This story uses the metaphor of mice searching for cheese to represent people seeking what they want in life, such as a job or relationship, and deals with how four characters respond differently when the cheese disappears - two mice named Sniff and Scurry quickly search the maze for new cheese while Hem and Haw hesitate to change. One character is able to successfully adapt to change, find new cheese, and write what he's learned on the maze walls to help others also deal with change in a positive way.

    Introduction.

     Who Moved My Cheese is a tale about four people who dwell in a maze
    and all have a fondness for cheese. When the cheese vanishes, Scurry
    and Sniff rush out into the maze in search of new cheese. Hem and Hall,
    on the other hand, feel misled and protest. They squander their time and
    efforts in the hope that the old cheese will return. Hall recognizes that
    the old cheese will not return, so he enters the maze in pursuit of new
    cheese. He writes everything he discovers on the walls in the hopes that
    Him will follow him. He eventually discovers new cheese and notices
    that Scurry and Sniff are already present. Cheese is a metaphor for what
    you want in life. It could be a decent work, a romantic connection,
    money, or excellent health.

    What things we have learned through this story.

     Learning from the story is that we've to sometime let go our comfort
    for the greater good..
     Despite of being humans, Hem and Haw were not willing to adapt
    to different conditions which shows that intelligence doesn't always
    beat hard work and perseverance which Sniff and Scurry had and
    were willing to put in even after being an apparently less intelligent
    creature i.e. mice.
     On the other hand, there are times when you don't get what you
    were aspiring for or looking forward for even after giving all you've
    got.
     Someone who embrace these failures as a ladder of success is the
    one who reach to the top.
     Moreover, When moving towards a goal, the destination is not
    something you should aim to have the ultimate joy of. It's the
    journey that really counts and matter.

    What is Cheese in this story?

     Cheese is the Metaphor.


     Cheese is what you want in life.
     Whether it is good job.
     A loving relationship.
     Money or a Possession.

    Why this book ?

     Have you ever wondered if there was an amazing way to


    deal with change in your work and in your life? If yes,
    then, "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Dr Spencer Johnson
    is exactly what you need. What attracted me to read this
    book was the title. It offered food for thought and made
    me curious. Also, the fact that it was a small book with
    only about 96 pages helped a lot!
    Change.

     The ever constant star in the horizon of our lives is


    inevitable. Every individual has a different approach to
    deal with this change. While some sit back, blame God
    and pity their luck; some simply refuse to adapt to change
    But there are others who are always ready and are quick
    on their feet to make the most of the change.
