There are three sections in this book.In the first section，it is about a gathering of former clamates, they are talking at a cla reunion about trying to deal with the changes happening in their lives, and most of them are upset about the changes.The second section
is the story of Who Moved My Cheese, which is the core of the book.In the third section, a discuion that people are discuing what the story meant to them and how they are going to use it in their work and in their lives, they think they get rid of the fear of changes.The story of Who Moved My Cheese is about four characters, the mice and two little people are living in a “Maze” and spent time running through the maze looking for their own special cheese to nourish them and make them happy.The mice, Sniff and Scurry, poe only simple rodent brains, but good instincts, searching for the hard nibbling cheese they like, as mice often do.The two little people, Hem and How, used their brains, filled with many beliefs, to search for a very different kind of cheese-with a Capital C-which they believed would make them feel happy and succeful.One day the four found the Cheese Station C.After that, every morning the mice and the little people dreed in their running gear and headed over to Cheese Station C.It wasn’t long before they each established their own routine.However, one morning they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there were no cheeses.To the mice, the problem and the answer were both simple.Sniff and Scurry quickly decided to change as the cheese changed;they did not overanalyze things and were not burdened with many complex beliefs.They were quickly off in search of New Cheese.While Sniff and Scurry had quickly moved on, Hem and Haw continued to go to Cheese Station C, found no Cheese, and returned home, carrying their worries and frustrations with them.For several times, Haws suggested stopping analyzing the situation so much and find some New Cheese.Hems quickly rejected because he loved the comfortable and afraid of the dangerous out.In order to get rid of the condition of becoming weaker and weaker, Haw made up his mind to leave.After overcome the upset of losing the accustomed comfortable and the territory of setting up his foot to running through the unexpected dark, he started finding more and more cheese and to Haw’s surprise, at the same time, he started to enjoy the journey of looking for cheese.When it seemed like he would been in the maze forever, his journey-or at least this part of his journey-ended quickly and happily.He found New Cheese at Cheese Station N!When he went inside, he was startled by what supply of Cheese he had ever seen.He didn’t recognize all that he saw, as some kinds of Cheese were new to him.Then he wondered for a
moment whether it was real or just his imagination, until he saw his old friends Sniff and Scurry.Sniff welcomed Haw with a nod of his head and Scurry waved his paw.Their fat little bellies showed that they had been here for some time.Haw quickly said his hellos and soon took bites of every one of his favorite Cheeses.When he had eaten his fill, he lifted a piece of fresh Cheese and made a toast.“Hooray for Change!”
As Haw enjoyed the New Cheese, he reflected what he had learned.He realized that when he had been afraid to change he had been holding on to the illusion of Old Cheese that was no longer there.Perhaps most important of all, he realized that there is always New Cheese out there whether you recognize it at the time or not.And that you are rewarded with it when you go past your fear and enjoy the adventure.He knew some fear should be respected, as it can keep you out of real danger.But he realized most of his fears were irrational and had kept him from changing when he needed to change.He didn’t like it at the time, but he knew that the change had turned out to be a bleing in disguise as it led him to find better Cheese.He had even found a better part of himself.Comments
This short but timele allegory reveals profound truths to individuals and organizations dealing with change.We all live in a “Maze”, a metaphor for the companies or organizations we work in, the communities we live in, the families we love, places where we look for the things we want in life, “Cheese”.It may be an enjoyable career, loving relationships, wealth, or spiritual peace of mind.With time and experience, one character eventually succeeds and even prospers from the change in his “Maze”.In an effort to share what he has learned along the way, he records his personal discoveries on the maze walls, the “Handwriting on the Wall”.Likewise, when we begin to see the “writing on the wall”, we discover the simplicity and neceity of adapting to change.It’s amazing that whether individuals or organizations would enjoy le stre and more succe by learning to deal with the inevitable change.What is the cheese? To some extent, the cheese can be regarded as succe.The “cheese “is just a metaphor of life to get things, it may be a job or money, love, happine, health and peace of mind, it also may be a sort of will of life for waiting.“Maze” for you to
spend time looking for it where it is your work, or your life, or you live in a relationship.Like a book in；Life is not clear up a corridor, life is a maze, and we must find their way.Not only one door will open to us, it may not be what we had wanted to go to, but finally we will find that it is the door that we can get through.Therefore, life is a proce, we are continually seeking after, and also we might be lost in the proce, and what we gain and lost is what we can enjoy.In my opinion, the two little mice and two little men are the metaphor of three kinds of people in reality.When meet with changing, the two mice immediately put on the shoes hanging around their necks and set off to look for new cheese.The two mice are the kind of people who does not care too much about gain and lo and is visionary.The people has broken the shackles and take a long time to put on his running shoes and set out to the maze is a figurative of Hem who complains the lost and wander about the future but at last he make up his mind to get rid of the complaint.However, Haw may be the people who always complain but do nothing.There is no doubt that the last can only gain the lost and the misery.This book with little story has revealed a great of life, there are many people get to the lo of the proce.After reading this book, I have gained many philosophic “cheese”.If we don't change, we will be eliminated;we often have a smell of cheese, we'll know when it's begun to spoil;when we're above his fears, we will feel at ease;Before I found the cheese.，I'm enjoying a cheese, will you help me to find new cheese;the earlier we give up the old cheese, the sooner we will find the new cheese；seeking in the maze more than stay in place with complaint;the old belief will not help us find new cheese;only by trying can we find new cheese and be able to enjoy it, we’ll change our route;That changing as soon as poible help us to meet greater changes.If we don't change, we will be eliminated.Moving as “cheese” and changing our attitude and methods, we continue to accept new things, constantly adapt to change, so that we will be competitive.So is the future work when we graduate and begin our career.I constantly ask myself “where is my cheese?” “How can I find my cheese?” I cannot get any accurate answer, I know nobody know the answer.I feel puzzled but I believe that God is fair to everybody, and everybody can find his own cheese, though the cheese someday will be taken away by others.As a student, most of us are under the protection of our parents.When our cheeses are taken away, we reach out our hands and get another cheese from parents.What if we graduate from university? The choices are quite few: go abroad, seek further education, and enter a work field.How can we get our cheese? Where does our cheese lie? To make things worse, the majorities are blocked by the high expense of going abroad.Besides, not once, we are told that the graduates are difficult to get a job nowadays, especially the English major, how can we keep with the changing situation and get our cheese?
Who Has Moved My Cheese has already told us that we should put the shoes on the neck for the sake of the changes.But what are the“ shoes” for our English majors? What can we do? Many people said “English is a tool”, though, it is not totally right, it still remind us to learn other majors to enrich ourselves.The word is changing all the time so that we should learn all the time.
