“Who Moved My Cheese?” is a motivational fable about dealing with change in work and life. The story follows four characters—two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw—who live in a maze and rely on cheese for survival and happiness.
One day, they discover their usual supply of cheese is gone. The mice, Sniff (who detects change early) and Scurry (who takes action quickly), immediately adapt by searching for new cheese. Meanwhile, Hem (who resists change) and Haw (who hesitates but eventually adapts) struggle to cope.
As time passes, Haw realizes that fearing change is worse than change itself. He learns valuable lessons, such as:
✔ Change is inevitable—anticipate it.
✔ Adapt quickly—clinging to the past leads to frustration.
✔ Fear can be overcome—taking action leads to new opportunities.
✔ The faster you let go of the old, the sooner you find something better.
In the end, Haw finds new cheese and reflects on his journey, while Hem remains stuck in denial. The book teaches readers to embrace change with a positive mindset, making it a powerful metaphor for personal and professional growth.
