Last week I spoke about the new adventure that I am starting soon.  And as the days are counting down, my current manager has suggested that I read this little book called "Who moved my cheese". While he was talking, all I could think was what a weird name that is for a book, but after settling in for the evening, I jumped onto Amazon and Ebay and bought myself a copy of this little book.

The book only has 94 pages and took me just a couple of hours to read through. It was an easy read, but it really does leave you with a lot to think about.  I don't want to give too much away, but it essentially speaks about ways in which people approach change.

These are the important points I've picked up from my read:

Change happens | They keep moving the cheese

Anticipate change | Get ready for the cheese to move

Monitor change | Smell the cheese often so you know when it is starting to get old

Adapt to change quickly | The quicker you let go of the old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy the new cheese

Change | Move with the cheese

Enjoy change! | Savior the adventure and enjoy the taste of new cheese!

Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again and again | They keep moving the cheese
