Who Moved My Cheese?

An A-Mazing Way To Deal With Change In Your Work And In Your Life

Parts of All of Us

The Simple and The Complex

The four imaginary characters

depicted in this story —

the mice: "Sniff" and "Scurry;' and

the Little people: "Hem" and "Haw" —

are intended to represent the simple and

the complex parts of ourselves, regardless of

our age, gender, race or nationality.

Sometimes we may act like

Sniff

Who sniffs out change early, or

Scurry

Who scurries into action, or

Hem

Who denies and resists change as he fears

it will lead to something worse, or

Haw

Who learns to adapt in time when he sees

changing can lead to something better!

Whatever parts of us we choose to use, we all share something in common: a need to find our way in the Maze and succeed in changing times.

 Change Happens

They keep moving the cheese. 

Anticipate Change

Get ready for the cheese to move. 

Monitor Change

Smell the cheese often so you know when it’s 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

Enjoy the taste of new cheese.

THE WAY OUT OF THE MAZE

Notice Your Beliefs 

A Belief Is a Thought That You Trust Is True Don’t Believe Everything 

You Think

Sometimes “Facts” Are Just How You See Things Let Go of What Isn’t Working

You Can’t Launch a New Quest with Old Baggage Look Outside the Maze

Consider the Unlikely—Explore the Impossible Choose a New Belief

Changing What You Think Doesn’t Change Who You Are 

There Are No Limits to What You Can Believe You Can Do, Experience, and Enjoy a Lot More Than You Think You Can
