Who Moved My Cheese?

Excerpts from the book "Who moved my Cheese" by Spencer Johnson MD, Putnam Publishers

Change is one of the difficult aspects for anyone, I was reading the book and thought of the cheese images etched in wood and captions which appear on the left hand side & thought it is worth mentioning here to later discuss.

I think man's excellence is an habit , hence he gets good at whatever he repeatedly does. Any change is something difficult to take , primarily because of the lack of confidence in living through, or experience the change against its ability to survive in it.

1. Having Cheese makes you happy
2. The more important your cheese is to you, the more you want to hold it
3. If you do not change you can become extinct
4. What would you do , if you werent afraid
5. Smell the cheese often , so you know when it is getting old
6. Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese
7. When you move beyond your fear , you feel free
8. Imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before i find it , leads me to it
9. The quicker you ket go of new cheese , the sooner you find new cheese
10. It is safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheeseless situation
11. Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese
12. When you can find and enjoy new cheese , you change course
13. Noticing small changes early helps you to adpat to biggger changes that are to come

Author is trying to drive the message

1. Change happens
2. Anticipate Change
3. Monitor Change
4. Adapt Quickly to Change
5. Change
6. Enjoy your change
7. Be ready to change quickly again and enjoy again
