【正文】 there may not be any Cheese in the maze, or he may not find it. Such fearful beliefs were immobilizing and killing him. Haw smiled. He knew Hem was wondering, Who moved my Cheese? but Haw was wondering, Why didn39。s life! Life moves on. And so should we. Haw looked at his emaciated panion and tried to talk sense to him, but Hem39。t you just wait here with me until they put the Cheese back? Because, you just don39。m afraid I39。t find any for sometime until they finally went into an area of the maze where they had never been before: Cheese Station N. They squealed with delight. They found what they had been looking for: a great supply of New Cheese. They could hardly believe their eyes. It was the biggest store of cheese the mice had ever seen. In the meantime, Hem and Haw were still back in Cheese Station C evaluating their situation. They were now suffering from the effects of having no Cheese. They were being frustrated and angry and were blaming each other for the situation they were in. Now and then Haw thought about his mice friend, Sniff and Scurry, and wondered if they had found any cheese yet. He believed they might be having hard time, as running through the maze usually involved some uncertainty. But he also knew that it was likely to only last for a while. Sometimes, Haw would imagine Sniff and Scurry finding New Cheese and enjoying it. He thought about how good it would be for him to be out on an adventure in the maze, and to find fresh New Cheese. He could almost taste it. The more clearly Haw saw the image of himself finding and enjoying the New Cheese, the more he saw himself leaving Cheese Station C.Let39。t seem to be acting smarter at the moment. Things are changing around here, Hem. Maybe we need to change and do things differently. Why should we change? Hem asked. We39。t know what to do. Hem and Haw just stood there, immobilized like two statues. Haw shut his eyes as tight as he could and put his hands over his ears. He just wanted to block everything out. He didn39。s behavior was not very attractive or productive but it was understandable. Finding Cheese wasn39。t. We deserve this Cheese, Hem said. We certainly had to work long and hard enough to find it. He picked up a nice fresh piece and ate it. Afterwards, Hem fell asleep, as he often did. Every night the littlepeople would waddle home, full of Cheese, and every morning they would confidently return for more. This went on for quite some time. After a while Hem39。t see why so many others were benefiting from it. When one of our senior executives, who was having difficulty adapting, said the story was a waste of his time, other people kidded him saying they knew which character he was in the storymeaning the one who learned nothing new and did not change. What39。s lives. After a good deal of kidding, and a good meal, they settled into an interesting conversation. Angela, who had been one of the most popular people in the class, said, Life sure turned out differently than I thought it would when we were in school. A lot has changed. It certainly has, Nathan echoed. They knew he had gone into his family39。s Hall of FameBroadcaster39。 ScurryThe Littlepeople: Hem amp。s taken away, it can be traumatic. The Maze in the story represents where you spend time looking for what you want. It can be the organization you work in, the munity you live in, or the relationships you have in your life. I tell the Cheese story that you are about to read in my talks around the world, and often hear later from people about what a difference it has made to them. Believe it or not, this little story has been credited with saving careers, marriages and lives! One of the many reallife examples es from Charlie Jones, a wellrespected broadcaster for NBCTV, who revealed that hearing the story of Who Moved My Cheese? saved his career. His job as a broadcaster is unique, but the principles he learned can be used by anyone. Here39。ve heard about the impact this story has had on peoplefrom their work life to their love life. I39。re afraid of change. Carlos, you were Captain of the football team, Jessica said. I never thought I39。d be happy toit doesn39。t even notice what was happening. As time went on, Sniff and Scurry continued their routine. They arrived early each morning and sniffed and scratched and scurried around Cheese Station C, inspecting the area to see if there had been any changes from the day before. Then they would sit down to nibble on the cheese. One morning they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there was no cheese. They weren39。t there tomorrow? He had made future plans based on this Cheese. The littlepeople couldn39。t? Hem scoffed, What would they know? Hem continued, They39。re entitled, Hem claimed. Entitled to what? Haw wanted to know. We39。s what I know. Besides it39。ll find that nothing has really changed that much. The Cheese is probably nearby. Maybe they just hid it behind the wall. The next day, Hem and Haw returned with tools. Hem held the chisel while Haw banged on the hammer until they made a hole in the wall of Cheese Station C. They peered inside but found no Cheese. They were disappointed but believed they could solve the problem. So they started earlier, stayed longer, and worked harder. But after a while, all they had was a large hole in the wall. Haw was beginning to realize the difference between activity and productivity. Maybe, Hem said, we should just sit here and see what happens. Sooner or later they have to put the Cheese back. Haw wanted to believe that. So each day he went home to rest and returned reluctantly with Hem to Cheese Station C. But Cheese never reappeared. By now the littlepeople were growing weak from hunger and stress. Haw was getting tired of just waiting for their situation to improve. He began to see that the longer they stayed
