It is 2011 and the world has changed. The economy has been in a recession for the past 3 years with little to no improving. More people are finding out that their 9 to 5 job they thought they could retire in, is no longer enough. Car manufactures are shutting down, newspaper subscriptions are at an all time low and the banking and real estate industry has become less than desirable.
Technology has gone digital, the classifieds have been replaced by Career Builder, Craigslist and Monster.com. The internet has become the new TV and movies are all in 3- D. Your job changes, people change, your home changes and so does your finances. There is so much going on in our lives and our communities that we need to learn how to deal with all the changes around us. Change is not easy, but necessary when the time comes.
Who Moved My Cheese? (1988), Spencer Johnson, MD, is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy.
"Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life - whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. The "Maze" is where you look for what you want - the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in. A must read for everyone.
Words to live by:
- Change Happens - They Keep Moving the Cheese
- Anticipate Change - Get Ready for the Cheese to Move
- Monitor Change - Smell the Cheese Often so You Know When It is Getting Old
- Adapt to Change Quickly - The Quicker You Let Go of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese
- Change - Move with the Cheese
- Enjoy Change! - Savor the Adventure and the Taste of New Cheese!
- Be Ready to Quickly Change Again and Again - They Keep Moving the Cheese
