Announcing - I finished reading one of the most interesting books I ever read - Who Moved My Cheese? Now,I am going to practise my summary skills. Firstly, let me introduce the characters in the story. The two mice - Sniff who sniff out changes early & Scurry who scurries into action quickly. The two little people - Hem who denies and resists changes and Haw who learn to adapt to changes in time. I will not be flipping through the pages now so do not blame me if I got any details wrongly. Sniff, Scurry, Haw and Hew looked for cheese in the maze at the begining. The cheese was soon found at cheese station C. Haw and Hew settled down at cheese station C and announce the cheese there as theirs. However, they did not notice the change in the amount and quality of the cheese. Sniff and Scurry notice the change and had anticipated a moment when all the cheese will be gone. Soon, the cheese ran out! The mices adapted to the changes quickly and were soon out to find new cheese. However, the little human got into a little debate as they did not anticipated these change. They thought someone had moved their cheese. Haw soon ignore his pal fear of proceding back into the maze and begin exploring the maze all over again. He found little bits of cheese here and there. Soon, He found Cheese Station N which was overflowing with cheese! Haw thought of the lesson learnt from this experience and hope Hew would have done the same. I will type out the lesson learnt in brief.
1 - Changes Happen
2 - Anticipate Changes
3 - Monitor Changes
4 - Adapt To Changes Quickly
5 - Change!
6 - Enjoy Change!
7 - Be Ready To Change Quickly & Enjoy Change Again
Now, for my thoughts about this short story. I feel that upon listening to this story, the reader or listener will few he/she is Hem and this will have an effect on the human brain physiologically and making them think they have to change. They are embarass of being called "Hem" and this lead to them wanting to change. On the other hand, this story also allow readers to look back into their life and reconsider life as a simplier and non-complicated approach. Then, the world will be look upon as a simplier place without tough decision to make it we just follow their approach. Change with time and do not stay in the past. However, it's easlier said than done. To change, it will take alot of pride, will-power and settling down all over again when changes come. This could be why we refuse to change. I better stop now. I do not know what rubbish I am typing about and I could be sue for slandering. ( I read about a blogger being sued ) Where in the freedom for speech in Singapore? Couldn't we at least voice out our thoughts? Is it because people refuse to listen to our thoughts as they do not want changes to occur? Our thoughts could be the key to improve our life! Where is the " your opinion is important to us " going about? Does it end up in the trash can without much consideration?
