6. Who Moved My Cheese??
This story basically deals with change that takes place in a Maze where 4 amusing
characters look 4 “Cheese” – cheese being a metaphor for what we want to have in
life, whether it is a job, a relationship, money, a big house, freedom, health,
recognition, spiritual peace, or even an activity like jogging or golf.
Each of us has our own idea of what Cheese is, and we pursue it because we believe it
makes us happy. If we get it, we often become attached to it. And if we lose it, or it’s
taken away, it can be traumatic.
The “Maze” in the story represents that place where we spend maximum time looking
4
What we want???
It can be the organization we work in, the community we live in, or may be the
relationships we have in our life…….

7. ONCE, long ago, there lived 4 little characters who ran through a maze looking for cheese to
nourish them & make them happy.
The 4 imaginary characters
Depicted in this story ---
The Mice: “sniff” & “scurry”
The Littlepeople: “Hem” & “Haw” ---
These represent the simple & the complex parts of ourselves, regardless of
our age, gender, race or nationality.
Sometimes we may act like
Sniff
Who sniffs out change early, or
Scurry
Who scurries into action, or
Hem
who denies & resists change as he fears it will lead something worse, or
Haw
Who learns to adopt in time when he sees changing can lead to something better!

8. Story Haw eventually sees what he is doing, laughs at himself, moves on, and finds new
cheese. Hem is stuck with comfort and fear, and gets left behind. As Haw understands
and embraces change, he writes what he has learned on the wall, hoping Hem will find
his way. The story ends with Hem realizing that when you can read the writing on the
wall, you can do well in changing times.
Story Sniff and Scurry go to the same place everyday to get cheese. When they realize
that the cheese is running low, they move on to find new cheese. Him and Haw don’t
realize that the cheese is low, until one day the cheese is no longer there. They sit and
contemplate about what to do. They are afraid to look for cheese elsewhere. They are
afraid of change.

9. Sniff & Scurry
Did not hang onto old ways
Reacted quickly
Applied trial and error
Although not an efficient strategy, it proved successful in the end mainly because their early
start provided them with time to find the cheese.
Hem Haw (slow at first, but eventually got moving)
Did not notice change was coming Faced his fear of the unknown
Hung onto old ways Let go of old attachments
Resisted change Learned to laugh at himself
Blamed others Did not give up
Allowed fear to paralyze him Developed an appreciation for the experiences
Too serious and close-minded that change provides
He was slow at first, but eventually learned to read,
Strategy proved totally unsuccessful understand and internalize the writing on the wall.
