The book “Who Moved My Cheese?” is about adapting to changes in life. It
is written by Dr. Spencer Johnson which has influenced a lot of people around
the world. The story is about two mice and two littlepeople living in a maze.
In the maze they have cheese stations and cheese. The mice and littlepeople
faced problems and they had to find new cheese. Although many people liked the
book, I find the story not quite
interesting, but I find the lesson valuable and learned a lot from it.
After I finished reading the book I realized some things in my life. I
realized that things are going to change and nothing is going to stay the same.
Changes will always occur in our lives and nothing would be permanent. For me
the lesson is really useful in my life. Even though I learned a lot from the
book, the story wasn’t really that exciting.
The metaphors that the author used could be better (instead of using
cheese, he could use something more interesting to read about). The story line and the things that happened were quite clear. I really wish that the story is
a bit more interesting so that I could enjoy the book more. Most of the things
in this book are metaphors. The maze that the mice and littlepeople are living
in represents our life. Our life has dead ends and we have to find our way
through it. The cheese stations in the
maze represent our comfort zones. The cheese represents something that we want
most and posses. Even the characters in
this book have a meaning. There are four characters: Sniff and Scurry (the
mice) and Hem and Haw (the littlepeople). Sniff symbolizes people who sniff
changes in their lives. Scurry represents people who scurries into action and
do something quickly. Hem and Haw represents the people that are stuck and unable
to move on.
There are several lessons in this book that I can relate to my life. The
first one is that change happens. In the book it is shown by the cheese that
keeps on moving. In my life changes happen and I have to face them. The second
lesson that I learned is that I should anticipate change. In the book it’s
shown that we should smell the
cheese often so you know when it is getting old. I have to keep on checking the
changes in my life and know when I have to move on and change.
After learning
the lessons in this book I plan to change the way I live. I will anticipate change and be ready. I will not be afraid of the changes that are going to
occur in my life and face them. I will also learn when I should move on, change and not stay in my comfort zone.
I would
recommend this book for people who want to live their life in a better way.
They can learn a lot of lessons from this book and make their life a better
one. I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for interesting
stories to read.
