Achieving our goals in life can make us feel contented but changes will come that will put us down. So, the only thing we can do is to move on and strive harder. But sometimes we’re afraid to keep forward because of the doubts about our strengths. In the story Who Moved My Cheese?, you will learn the importance of having strong beliefs on yourself and how to adapt changes.
Once, there were two mice named Sniff and Scurry living on the maze together with the two little people named Haw and Hem. They are roaming around the maze for the cheese. Hem and Haw just stay on the Cheese Station C where there is a cheese. But after the cheese was gone, Hem thought someone moved their cheese not noticing its changes day by day. So, as days go by they waited on the same spot for the cheese to back. After a long time of waiting, Haw with his fear to get lost on the maze decided to search for a new cheese while Hem stayed on their place and still hoping for a new cheese. At last, Haw successfully found a new cheese at the Cheese Station N where he also found his two friends, Sniff and Scurry.
In reading this book, I’ve learned that in life we must not be confident on the things we have now because they might be changed or lost. But, we must also be prepared for the changes we can encounter because we can be able to fix it by moving ourselves to the cheese. I’ve also learned that changes can help us to develop our hidden talents just like on the life of Charlie Jones who was removed from Track and Field events which he had worked hard but he assigned to Swimming and Diving which he learned how to do it and became his new sports. On the part of Haw, I’ve learned that changes can help us to change our wrong beliefs and help us to conquer more challenges that are unexpected. In addition, I’ve realized that I can use the lessons what I’ve got here to become a businessman in the future because as a businessman I should learn on how to deal and adapt changes that may occur. Lastly, changes is a positive thing for me because it corrects me and It challenge me to become more responsible and industrious.
Searching for the new cheese, Haw experienced fear because he might get lost from the maze alone. On that part, I’ve learned that at first we might be afraid to something challenging especially when we’re alone but it’s up to us if we were over complicate matters or confuse ourselves with fearful beliefs. We must remember that fear can get things worse. In addition, to be afraid to something is the feeling that we should not feel, for I know our almighty God is always there to support and guide us on our chosen path. Moreover, Haw also put some saying on the walls which can help Hem to mark the ways on the maze and inspire him. Now, I’ve learned that we should not stress ourselves on the part of our challenges so that we can be productive and survive. I admire Haw because he gave effort for his friend, he respect the decision of it, and he inspire it to be better.
