I just finished a wonderful book that most everyone has read...sorry it took me so long. Spencer Johnson tells a cute little story that has real life application. Here are the main points:
*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's getting old.
*Adapt to change quickly, the quicker you let go of old cheese, the quicker you get to enjoy new cheese.
*Change, move with the cheese.
*Enjoy change, savor the adventure and the taste of new cheese.
*Be ready to quickly change again and again, they keep moving the cheese.
The only question is what's your cheese? We have a huge change coming up at the place I work and I encouraged administration to purchase this little gem of a book for everyone...I'm still waiting.
Next book: "The One Minute Manager"
For those out of their 20's and out of living on the margin, a look back. For those in their 20's and living paycheck to paycheck, where do we go from here? For those looking forward to "getting out of the house," real life experiences brought to you in real time.

Questions for the time crunched twenty somethings: Can anyone move your cheese if you find satisfaction from within? What chance do you have of finding yourself if you continue the search from the outside in? Self-evaluation, self-actualization, self-esteem all begin with ....?
Great question...Tom Peters in his book The Brand You says; "'They' aren't in charge of our careers-and by extension our lives-anymore. We are. It is up to us to fashion ourselves."
