 The ability to change with the times is the key to being successful in the fast-paced world of the 21st century. Life, after all, is about change. But why, for so many of us, is change so difficult to deal with?
Enter Dr. Spencer Johnson. Many years ago, Johnson faced a major upheaval1 in his life. He initially responded to it by becoming angry and confused. But finally he realized that, insgroupsto deal with the change, he himself had to change. Johnson made up the story of“Who Moved My Cheese?”to get himself to laugh at his follies2 and fears.
“Who Moved My Cheese?”deals with four characters who live in a maze, like labratory mice. And, like hapless mice, they look for the thing that makes them happy---cheese. In the book, cheese is a metaphor3 for the things we want in life; the maze isswhereswe look for those things. When the cheese is moved, each character is forced to deal with the change. Eventually, all four of them realize that they can triumph4 in changing times.
The book was first published in 1998. Since then, many people have said it has helped them deal with change and make improvements in their lives. Although the book only takes about an hour to read, the lessons drawn from it can last a lifetime. |
翻译
身在快节奏的21世纪，具有顺应时代潮流的变化而改变的能力是成功的关键。毕竟，人生总是在变化的。但为什么对我们许多人来说，变化却是如此难以接受呢？
现在我们来谈谈斯宾塞·约翰逊博士。许多年前，约翰逊遭遇生命中的剧变。对此他最初的反应是愤怒和困惑。但最后他认识到，为了适应转变，他自己不得不改变。约翰逊虚构了一个故事，名为《谁动了我的奶酪？》，来为他的愚蠢和恐惧自我解嘲。
《谁动了我的奶酪？》故事中提到四个像实验鼠一样，住在迷宫里的主角。如同那些倒霉的老鼠，它们寻找着让自己快乐的东西──奶酪。在这本书里，奶酪暗喻生命中我们所想要的东西，而迷宫就是我们寻觅这些东西的场所。当奶酪被拿走，每个主角都被迫去面对这个转变。最后，他们四个都认识到，自己能够在转机中获得成功。
这本书于1998年初次出版。从那时起，许多人都说这本书帮助了他们面对变化，并改善了他们的生活。虽然阅读这本书只需要一个小时的时间，但从中所获取的教训却是受益一生的。
