Summery
There
are
three
sections
in
this
book.
In
the
first
section
，
it
is
about
a
gathering
of
former classmates, they are talking at
a class 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
discussion that people are discussing
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,
possess
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 successful.
One day the four found the
Cheese Station C. After
that, every
morning the mice and the little people dressed 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
b
y
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
