Now follows.

46. Who
Moved
My
Cheese?
An Amazing Way to Deal With Change In Your Work &
In Your Life
DR SPENCER JOHNSON
http://www.Whomovedmycheese.com

47. “Cheese” – a metaphor for what we want to
have in life, whether it is a job, a
relationship, money, a big house, freedom,
health, recognition, spiritual peace, or even
an activity like jogging or golf.
Each of us has our own idea of what Cheese
is, and we pursue it because we believe it
makes us happy. If we get it, we often
become attached to it. And if we lose it, or
it’s taken away, it can be traumatic.

48. ONCE, long ago, there lived 4 little
characters who ran through a maze looking
for cheese to nourish them & make them
happy.
Two were mice named “Sniff” & “Scurry”
and two were little people named “Hem” &
“Haw”.

49. Every morning, the mice & the little people
dressed in their running gear & headed
over to Cheese Station C where they found
their own kind of cheese. It was a large
store of Cheese that Hem & Haw eventually
moved their homes to be closer to it & built
a social life around it.
To make themselves feel more at home,
Hem & Haw decorated the walls with
sayings. One read:

50. Having Cheese
Makes You
Happy

51. One morning, Sniff & Scurry arrived at
Cheese Station C & discovered there was no
cheese.
They weren’t surprised. Since they had
noticed the supply of cheese had been
getting smaller every day, they were
prepared for the inevitable & knew
instinctively what to do. They were quickly
off in search of New Cheese.
Later that same day, Hem & Haw arrived.
“What! No Cheese? Who moved my
Cheese? It’s not fair!”, Hem yelled. They
went home that night hungry &
discouraged. But before they left, Haw
wrote on the wall:

52. The More Important
Your Cheese is To
You, The More You
Want To Hold Onto
It.

53. The next day Hem & Haw left their homes,
& returned to Cheese Station C. But
situation hadn’t changed. Haw asked,
“Where are Sniff & Scurry? Do you think
they know something we don’t?” Hem
scoffed, “What would they know? They’re
just simple mice. They just respond to what
happens. We’re little people. We’re
smarter.”
Haw suggested, “Maybe we should stop
analyzing the situation so much and just get
going & find some New Cheese.
Haw decided to leave Cheese Station C
while Hem was more comfortable staying in
the cheese less Station C. Hem announced,
“It’s MAZE time!” and wrote:

54. If You Do Not
Change, You Can
Become Extinct

55. Meanwhile, Sniff & Scurry went farther
into the maze until they found Cheese
Station N. They found what they had been
looking for: a great supply of New Cheese.
It was the biggest store of cheese the mice
had ever seen.
Haw on the other hand become more
anxious & wondered if he really wanted to
go out into the Maze. He wrote a saying on
the wall ahead of him & stared at it for
some time:

56. What Would You Do
If You Weren’t
Afraid?

57. Haw now realized that the change probably
would not have taken him by surprise if he
had been watching what was happening all
along and if he had anticipated change. He
stopped for a rest & wrote on the wall of the
Maze:

58. Smell The Cheese
Often So You Know
When It Is Getting
Old.

59. Haw wondered if Hem had moved on, or if
he was still paralyzed by his own fears.
Then, Haw remembered the times when he
had felt his best in the Maze. It was when he
was moving along. He wrote:

60. Movement In A New
Direction Helps You
Find New Cheese.

61. As Haw started running down the dark
corridor, he began to smile. Haw didn’t
realize it yet, but he was discovering what
nourished his soul. He was letting go &
trusting what lay ahead for him, even
though he did not know exactly what it was.
To his surprise, Haw started to enjoy
himself more & more. He stopped to write
again on the wall:

62. When You Move
Beyond Your Fear,
You Feel Free.

63. To make things even better, Haw started to
paint a picture in his mind again. He saw
himself in great realistic detail, sitting in the
middle of a pile of all his favorite cheeses-
from Cheddar to Brie! He saw himself
eating the many cheeses he liked, & he
enjoyed what he saw.
The more clearly he saw the image of
himself enjoying New Cheese, the more real
& believable it became. He wrote:

64. Imagining Myself
Enjoying New
Cheese, Even Before
I Find It, Leads Me
To It.

65. Haw wondered why he had always thought
that a change would lead to something
worse. Now he realized that change could
lead to something better.
Then he raced through the Maze with
greater strength & agility. Until he found
bits of New Cheese. He entered the Cheese
Station but it was empty. Someone had
already been there.
He stopped & wrote on the wall:

66. The Quicker You Let
Go Of Old Cheese,
The Sooner you Find
New Cheese.

67. Haw made his way back to Cheese Station
C to offer Hem bits of New Cheese but was
turned down. Hem wanted his own Cheese
back. Haw just shook his head in
disappointment but this does not stop him
from finding New Cheese. He smiled as he
realized:

68. It Is Safer To Search
In The Maze Than
Remain In The
Cheeseless
Situation.

69. Haw realized again, that what you are
afraid of is never as bad as what you
imagine. The fear you let build up in your
mind is worse than the situation that
actually exists.
He realizes it was natural for change to
continually occur, whether you expect it or
not. Change could surprise you only if you
didn’t expect it & weren’t looking for it.
When he realized he had changed his
beliefs, he paused to write on the wall:

70. Old Beliefs Do Not
Lead You To New
Cheese.

71. Haw now realized that his new beliefs were
encouraging him to behave in a new way.
He was behaving differently from the way
he had when he had kept returning to the
same cheeseless station.
It all depends on what you choose to believe.
He wrote on the wall:

72. When You See That
You Can Find And
Enjoy New Cheese,
You Change Course.

73. Haw just hoped he was heading in the right
direction. He thought about the possibility
that Hem would read The Handwriting On
The Wall & find his way.
He wrote on the wall what he had been
thinking about for some time:

74. Noticing Small
Changes Early Helps
You Adapt To The
Bigger Changes That
Are To Come.

75. He continued on through the Maze with
greater strength & speed. He proceeded
along a corridor that was new to him,
rounded a corner, & found New Cheese at
Cheese Station N where he saw the greatest
supply of Cheese he had ever seen.Sniff &
Scurry welcomed him.
“Hooray for Change!”
Haw wrote down a summary of what he had
learned on the largest wall of Cheese
Station N & smiled as he looked at what he
had learned:

76. Change Happens
Anticipate Change
Monitor Change
Adapt To Change Quickly
Change
Enjoy Change !
Be Ready To Change Quickly
& Enjoy It Again.

be lonely, to
recognize the
value of a
friend.

begin to work.

89. ... neither
separation to

90. Don’t wait...
Because you don’t know how long
it will take.

91. Wife
 Build a strong band of relations with
wife.
 Discover the power of a WOMAN.
 She is first person to help in case your
emergency of any kind.

92. Why are you
crying?
a young boy asked
his Mom.
Because I’m a
woman, she told
him.
I don’t understand,
he said.
His Mom just
hugged him and
said:
…and you never
will, but that’s okay.
Later the little boy
asked his father,
Why does Mom seem to
cry for no reason?
All women cry for no
reason.
…was all his dad could
say.

93. The little boy grew up
and became a man,
still wondering why
women cry.
Finally, he went on his
knees and asked God:
GOD... Why do
women cry so easily?
And God answered...

94. …When I made women,
I decided she had to be
special.
I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry
the weight of the world,
yet her arms gentle
enough to give comfort!
I gave her the inner
strength to endure
childbirth and the
rejection that many
times will come, even
from her own children!

95. I gave her a hardness that
allows her to keep going and
take care of her family and
friends, even when everyone
else gives up, through
sickness and fatigue, without
complaint!
I gave her sensitivity to love
her children under any and
all circumstances, even
when her child has hurt her
badly! She has the very
special power to make a
child’s boo-boo feel better
and to quell a teenager’s
anxieties and fears.

96. I gave her strength to
care for her husband,
despite faults, and I
fashioned her from his
rib to protect his heart!
I gave her wisdom to
know that a good
husband never hurts his
wife but sometimes tests
her strengths and her
resolve to stand beside
him unfalteringly !

97. Son, for all of this hard
work…
I also gave her a tear to
shed. It is hers to use
whenever needed and is
her only weakness!
When you see her cry,
tell her how much you
love her and all she does
for everyone. And even
though she may still cry,
you will have made her
heart feel good.
She is special!!!

simple and easy to understand are
equally difficult to follow in toto. In fact
it may not be possible to adhere them

the direction, the day of happiness is not
far of. Dr. Sudhir Vaidya

137. Butterfly lesson
 It is not only interesting but necessary to
remember the Butterfly lesson if we want
success in life.

138. A Butterfly’s Lesson
”One day, a
small oppening
appeared on a
cocoon; a man
sat and watched
for the butterfly
for several hours
as it struggled to
force its body
through that
little hole.

139. Then, it seems
to stop making
any progress.
It appeared as if
it had gotten as
far as it could
and it could not
go any further.

140. So the man
decided to help
the butterfly: he
took a pair of
scissors and
opened the
cocoon.
The butterfly
then emerged
easily.
But it had a
withered body, it
was tiny and
shrivelled wings.

141. The man
continued to
watch because
he expected
that, at any
moment, the
wings would
open, enlarge
and expand, to
be able to
support the
butterfly’s
body, and
become firm.

142. Neither
happened!
In fact, the
butterfly spent
the rest of its
life crawling
around with a
withered body
and shrivelled
wings. It never
was able to fly.

143. What the man, in his
kindness and his
goodwill did not
understand was that the
restricting cocoon and
the struggle required for
the butterfly to get
through the tiny opening,
were God’s way of
forcing fluid from the
body of the butterfly into
its wings, so that it would
be ready for flight once it
achieved its freedom
from the cocoon.

144. Sometimes,
struggles are
exactly what we
need in our life.
If God allowed us
to go through our
life without any
obstacles, it would
cripple us. We
would not be as
strong as we could
have been. Never
been able to fly.

145. I asked for Strength...
And God gave me
difficulties to make
me strong.
Iasked for Wisdom...
And God gave me
Problems to solve.
I asked for
prosperity...
And God gave me a
Brain and Brawn to
work.

146. I asked for
Courage…..
And God gave
me obstacles to
overcome.
I asked for
Love...
And God gave
me Troubled
people to help.

147. I asked for Favors...
And God gave me
Opportunities.
“I received nothing I
wanted...
But I received
everything I
needed."

148. Live life without fear, confront all obstacles
and evidence that you can overcome them.

149. Expectation from viewers.
 CRISIS management is such a vast subject and
any write up on the subject can’t probably
cover all aspects of it.Perception & Impact of
any crisis varies from person to person.
 This slide show may serve as a guide post in
their preparations to face CRISIS.
 I will feel that efforts are rewarded if this slide
show induces viewers to think about the
subject.

150. Thanks
Best of Luck.
