在 Mike 辦公室無意間看到 Who Moved My Cheese? （by Dr. Spencer Johnson)，薄薄的一本英文書，卻是1999-2002年間的暢銷書籍，引起我的好奇心，和Mike打聲招呼就帶走了！

故事中有四個主角，兩隻老鼠，兩個小人 (The Mice: Sniff & Scurry   The Littlepeople: Hem & Haw) 尋找Cheese。乳酪代表的是我們生命中想要擁有的東西，可能是工作、可能是一段關係、可能是金錢、可能是一個大房子、可能是健康、可能是自由、可能是他人的肯定、也可能只是慢跑或打高爾夫球等運動。我們每天追求 Cheese，因為我們相信這玩意可以帶給我們快樂。

有一天，我們喜愛的Cheese不見了，我們和 Hem 一樣懊惱死守在原地等待Cheese回來，還是和Sniff & Scurry一樣隨時接受改變，馬上去找下一塊新的Cheese？

Haw 雖然不像Sniff & Scurry一樣馬上就接受改變的事實，但是他終究還是在觀望幾天後，勇敢的踏出去，試著找尋他的下一塊Cheese。在探索的途中，他難免會卻步，於是他在牆上寫下了下面的感想，來鼓勵自己勇敢的面對改變去尋找下一個美好的未來：

Having cheese makes you happy.

The more important your cheese is to you, the more you want to hold on to it.

If you do not change, you can become extinct.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Smell teh cheese often so you know when it is getting old.

Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese.

When you stop being afraid, you feel good!

Imagining yourself enjoying your new cheese leads you to it.

The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.

It is safer to search in the Maze than remain in a cheeseless situation.

Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese.

When you see that you cna find and enjoy new cheese, you change course.

Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.

Change Happens - they keep moving the cheese

Anticipat change - get ready for the cheese to move

Monitor change - smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old

Adapt to change quickly = the quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese

Change - move with the cheese

Enjoy change! - Savor the adventure and enjoy the taste of new cheese!

Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again & Again - they keep moving the cheese
