第25期:誰動了我的奶酪

今天學的是《誰動了我的奶酪》，看看它能帶給我們什麼啓發。

"Who moved my cheese?"is a story about change that takes place in a Maze where four amusing characters look for "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 can 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 where you spend time looking for what you want. It can be the organization you work in, the community you live in, or the relationships you have in your life. In the story you will see that the two mice do better when they are faced with change because they keep things simple, while the two little people’s complex brains and human emotions complicate things. It is not that mice are smarter. We all know people are more intelligent than mice. However, as you watch what the four characters do, and realize both the mice and the little people represent parts of ourselves, the simple and the complex, you can see it would be to our advantage to do the simple things that work when things change.
《誰動了我的奶酪》講的是一個關於"變化"的故事。故事發生在一個迷宮中，有四個可愛的小生靈在迷宮中尋找他們的奶酪。故事裏的"奶酪"是對我們在現實生活中所追求目標的一種比喻，它可以是一份工作，一種人際關係，可以是金錢，一幢豪宅，還可以是自由、健康、賞識、精神自由，甚至還可以只是一項運動，如慢跑、高爾夫球等。我們每個人的內心都有自己想要的"奶酪"，我們追尋它，想要得到它，因爲我們相信，它會帶給我們幸福和快樂。而一旦我們得到了自己夢寐以求的奶酪，又常常會對它產生依賴心理，甚至成爲的附庸。這時如果我們忽然失去了它，或者它被人拿走了，我們將會因此而受到極大的傷害。故事裏的"迷宮"代表着你花時間尋求着的東西所在的地方，它可以是你效力的機構，你生活的社區，亦或是你生活中的某種人際關係。在故事裏，你會發現，當面對變化時兩個老鼠做得比兩個小矮人要好，因爲他們總是把事情簡單化，而當兩個小矮人所具有的複雜的腦筋和人類的情感，卻總是把事情變得複雜化。這並不是說老鼠比人更聰明。我們都知道人類更具智慧。當你觀察故事中四個角色的行爲時，你會發現，其實老鼠和小矮人代表我們自身的不同方面，簡單的一面和複雜的一面，當事物發生變化時，或許簡單行事會給我們帶來許多的便利和益處。
