...just finished reading the book. If anyone feels that they are in need of some life direction, this is a must-read. A little to "grade-school" but the points made are very good nonetheless.

Otay....
there are 4 characters in a maze. In the maze there are varoius "Cheese Stations". All four characters find the station together. 2 notice that the cheese is running out, slowly but surely. THeir names are Sniff and Scurry. Sniff sniffs out the cheese and Scurry runs along to find it. The other two don't realize that the cheese is running out, but it does. Hem does not want to change as he thinks the cheese will come back. Haw initially feels this way, but breaks out of his funk and decides to go find new cheese. Sniff, Scrury and Haw end up together in Cheeseville.
Obviously it is a metaphor for dealing with life changes. If you lose your old cheese - go find new, better cheese. Do not be afraid of life changes as they can be a little scary but awfully rewarding.

Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.
Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. --Lou Schuler
