The main question "Who Moved My Cheese?" is left unanswered. The book is criticized as a patronizing book that educates followers,
not leaders: out of at least three options to search and chase after new cheese to make the cheese yourself to move the cheese away from the refrigerators of others only the first - and most passive - option is discussed. There are many alternative viewpoints on the Cheese story.
Some managers are known to mass-distribute copies of the book to employees, some of whom see this as an insult or an attempt to characterize dissent as not "moving with the cheese".
Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams claims that patronizing parables are one of the top 10 complaints he receives in his email.
With a happy but complex feeling, I closed the book and drowned myself into deep thought. I have to recognize that it’s lucky for me to read this book, which is just like a mirror of our daily life.
Two lovely mice Sniff, Scurry together with two little people Hem and Haw live in a big maze. They have to find cheese to feed themselves. Just as their names show,
Sniff has a great sense of sniff and Scurry is able to run very fast. However, they are mice with simple thoughts. There’s no doubt that two little people are much cleverer than these mice, which are regarded as low-level creature by people.
But the ending is surprising enough: the mice become the lucky dog and firstly adapt the changing situation. While the mice have already found new cheese and tasted the happiness of adventure, our two little people are still discussing the reasons and anglicizing their situation.
They are afraid of changing and losing, because their wisdom tells them changing is a dangerous thing. This time, wisdom is no longer an advantage for them. Apparently, humans’ overly complicated and emotional intelligence sometimes do not advance way. The poorest character is Hem,no one knows his fate in the future, but we can imagine how hard it will be. Refusing changes bring him nothing but sadness. Haw is much luckier, though his action is not as quick as two mice, he take changes the moment he awake to his fault and learn a lot from the process.
There’s no doubt that Haw’s handwriting on the wall is the brightest point in the whole story.
These truths encourage us to go out of the dilemma and adjust ourselves to the changing circumstances and enjoy the changes.
Obviously, the maze represents our whole life and cheese represent the valuable things that we pursuit. We ourselves are playing the role of mice or little people in our realistic life. May be you’re mice who can take quick actions to change, then congratulations! But what if you are Hem?
I believe no one of us want to be a second Hem without any cheese. So, just try to become Haw, simplify the problems and try new things without worrying. Surprise is ahead of you, success is just there, waiting for you.
In my opinion, this story is a kind of scathing satire on people who don’t have an ability to adapt new surroundings quickly. In the future, change is the only constant.
If you don’t want to be eliminated by the changing time, if you want to keep pace with the changing tide, please keep the alertness and give up conservative ideas.
The future is full of changes, since you are already in the maze, how to find your" cheese" is the problem you have to deal with. There’s an old saying in China called security is the biggest enemy. No one can deny that a constant job or something will kill people’s passion.
But it will lead only two kinds of consequences: you make no progress or your condition becomes much worse.
Someone refuse to change because of the fear from the bottom of their heart. If you can’t overcome this psychology barrier, you can’t knock open the door of success. All depends on you, choose to change and have a better life or to be stubborn and lose all the old cheese.
Life is changing. Change is the only constant in the future. All you can do is to try your best to adapt the changing world bravely. God help those who help and change themselves!

There were 4 little characters who were looking for cheese to nourish them.
Two were mice named “Sniff” and “Scurry”。 Two were little people named “Hem” and “Haw”。 Every morning, the mice and the little people went to Cheese Station C where full of cheese.
One morning, Sniff and Scurry arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there was no cheese. They werent surprised,since they had noticed the supply of cheese had been getting smaller every day,
they had prepared for this change. They quickly searched for new Cheese. Sniff and Scurry finally found Cheese Station N which was the biggest store of cheese. Meanwhile,Hem and Haw were anxious and couldnt accept the fact. T
hey just wanted cheese back. Later,Haw decided to go out to find cheese.On the way,Haw kept adjusting himself and tried his best. Finally he found Station N. The three characters had cheese to eat while Hew was still in Station C with no cheese.
