Chapter 1 引子
以一場同學聚會上的聊天為始。長大后的同學們感觸最深的就是『改變』
"how we don't want to change when things change?" "i guess we resist changing because we are afraid of change."
因為我們都害怕改變，要考慮的事情太多了
Everyone was trying to cope with the unexpected changes that were happening to them in recent years. And more admitted that they didn't know a good way to handle them.???
找不到解決 如何改變 這一問題的方法 引出故事

必經之路
tangle
Haw's fear of failing---getting lost makes a fool of himself
害怕失敗 生活中十分常見的心態
Hem's hope of finding New Cheese faded due to Haw's discouragement
本來自己有的希望，有的想法的確十分容易受他人影響而漸漸暗淡
action 1——dig a big hole
found no cheese at all
Haw was beginning to realize the difference between activity and productivity.
意識到活動和生產力的區別（有點不懂
Haw was getting tired of waiting for the situation to improve and he knew they were losing their edge.
每個人遇到改變起初都會經歷這樣的過程吧。但就看是下定決心去改變還是停留在原地直到失去希望。
action2——Haw decied to run through the maze again
Hem wondering:" Who moved my cheese?" Haw wondering:" Why didn't I get up and move with the Cheese sonner?"
糾結問題的來源：外界因素的影響or自我本身做出改變來應對
Haw didn't feel confident enough yet——It seemed his progress was 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards.
做決定是很難的，在行動中不免感覺行路困難。
Whenever he started to get discouraged he reminded himself that what he was doing,as uncomfortable as it was at the moment,was in reality much better than staying in Chessless situation.He was taking control,rather than simply letting things happen to him.
泄氣時要問問自己 面對現實去努力改變還是活在對過去的苦惱 憤怒 無奈中
Haw now realized that the change probably would not have taken him by surprise if he had been watching what was happening all long and if he had anticipated change,which maybe what Sniff and Scurry had been doing.
虛擬，有時間去擔心這擔心那把事情復雜化，不如想一想怎么努力去改變現狀
Haw discovered that the Cheese station was empty. He felt like giving up but he asked himself:"what would I do if I weren't afraid?"
虛擬，假如我不害怕，我會做什么？ 這樣想更能給人力量8
Haw remembered the times when he had felt his best in the maze——It was when he was moving along.
在做出行動去改變的時候才是感覺最好的時候
Haw realized he had been held captive by his own fear. Moving in a new direction had freed him.
意識到被自己的恐懼支配了，朝著新方向努力讓他重獲新生
action3——finally...
Haw felt energetic ~
糾結過后看清了形勢 決定再次出門冒險，做出改變
He raced through the maze the greater strength and agility.
BUT Hem refused to change until he got what he want. Haw just shook his head in disappointment and reluctantly went back out on his own.
說服他人未果，只能一個人往前走。生活中很多時候我們都必須學會獨自前行。
WHAT MADE HEM HAPPY——he wasn't being run by his fear.
不受恐懼支配了 肥腸開心遼
Realizing he was not letting his fear stop hin and knowing that he had taken a new direction nourished him and gave him strength.
他想明白了 他不會再因為恐懼而停下腳步 他要朝著目標前進 一個能讓他充滿力量的新方向
About Hem...
虛擬語氣表現出對過去的后悔..過于擔心失敗，挫折是絕對無法向前走的
would feel stronger in body and spirit
could have coped better with the challenge of finding New Cheese
rather than wasting time denying that the change had already taken place
gather his will and decide to keep proceeding into the newer parts of the maze
regain his strength and confidence!!!
RESULT
Hem
He's been so afraid of never finding New Cheese that he didn't even want to start looking. But since starting his journey he had found enough Cheese in the corridors to keep him going. Now he looked forward to finding more. Just looking ahead was becoming exciting.
His olding thinking had been clouded by his worries and fears.
He used to think
not having enough Cheese
想要的東西太多
not having it last as long as wanted
只要想要就一直想著去獲得
more what could go wrong than what could go right
想什么會發生錯誤想得太多 要多思考怎樣讓事情變得正確
Cheese should never be moved
想要的東西永遠在那，就看你自己了
the change wasn't right
改變，不是個正確的事兒
Now he realized
it was natural for change to continually occur ,whether you expect it or not
是人總要改變的，因為世界一直在變化
Change could surprise you only if you didn't expect it and weren't looking for it.
別放太多注意力在改變上，它只會出其不意，讓你驚喜
Haw
let go of the past
讓過去那個喪喪的自己見鬼去吧！
adapt to the future
適應你總要面對的未來吧~
He realized that
being afraid to change that he had been holding on to the illusion of Old Cheese X
對過于美好事物幻覺的依賴 快走開啦！
what made him change?
the fear of straving to death 5%
learn to laugh at your own folly 95%
最主要要學會正視自己的錯誤
need to adapt in time
適應時代的改變
the bigger inhibitor to change lies within yourself, and that nothing gets better until you change.
只有你自己改變了，事情才會改變
there is always New Cheese out there whether you recognize it at the time or not.
你想要的永遠都在那里，就看你怎么去想怎么去做咯
most of his fears were irrational and had kept him from changing when he needed to change
他大多數的恐懼都是荒謬的，阻止他改變
THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
CHANGE HAPPEN
THEY KEEP MOVING THE CHEESE
ANTICIPATE CHANGE
THE MORE IMPORTANT YOUR CHEESE IS TO YOU THE MORE YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO IT.
IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE,YOU CAN BECOME EXTINCT.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN'T AFRAID?
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
MONITOR CHANGE
SMELL THE CHEESE OFTEN SO YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS GETTING OLD.
MOVEMENT IN A NEW DIRECTION HELPS YOU FIND NEW CHEESE.
OLD BELIEFS DO NOT LEAD YOU TO NEW CHEESE.
IT IS SAFER TO SEARCH IN THE MAZE THAN REMAIN IN A CHEESELESS SITUATION.
ADAPT TO CHANGE QUICKLY
THE QUICKER YOU LET GO OF OLD CHEESE,THE SOONER YOU FIND NEW CHEESE.
WHEN YOU MOVE BEYOUND YOUR FEAR,YOU FEEL FREE.
IMAGINING MYSELF ENJOYING NEW CHEESE EVEN BEFORE I FIND IT,LEADS ME TO IT.
NOTICING SMALL CHANGES EARLY HELPS YOU ADAPT TO THE BIGGER CHANGES THAT ARE TO COME.
ENJOY CHANGE
WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOU CAN FIND AND ENJOY NEW CHEESE, YOU CHANGE COURSE.
SAVOR THE ADVENTURE AND ENJOY THE TASTE OF NEW CHEESE
BE READY TO CHANGE QUICKLY AND ENJOY IT AGAIN
THEY KEEP MOVING THE CHEESE !
MOVE WITH THE CHEESE AND ENJOY IT !
Chapter 3 討論
人們都想逃避自己對于改變的恐懼
像Hem這樣的人
他們認為自己想要的東西是自己應得的
當他們想要的被奪走他們認為自己是受害者并且責怪他人
他們變得越來越差勁當身邊的人都釋懷向前看了
好句
While in the past we may have wanted loyal employees,today we need flexible people who are not possessive about "the way things are done around here".
如今我們更需要靈活應對事物，對已經塵埃落定的事物沒有占有欲的人（想著走自己的路去改變？
For some, finding Cheese was having material things. For others it was enjoying good health, or developing a spiritual sense of well-being.
對尋找奶酪是去獲得物質上的東西，亦或是享受健康或者發展一種幸福安樂的精神感受。
Finding Cheese was the littlepeoples' way of getting what they thought they needed to be happy.
尋找奶酪是小人們認為的能讓他們快樂的方式~
However,for those who found their way,the maze held secrets that led them enjoy a better life.
對于找到方法的人們，迷宮擁有著秘密，能帶領他們享受更好的人生的秘密。
"Sometimes," Haw said,"Things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times, Hem. That's life! Life moves on .And so should we.
計劃永遠趕不上變化，我們要學會隨著生活應變啊
Sometimes some fear can be good.When you are afraid things are going to get worse, if you don't do something,it can promote you into an action. But it is good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.
有些時候恐懼也是件好事。當你害怕恐懼會阻止你去做任何想做的事情的時候...
some fear should be respeacted,as it can keep you out of real danger.
有時候恐懼會讓你免于真正的危險
Whenever he started to get discouraged he reminded himself that what he was doing,as uncomfortable as it was at the moment,was in reality much better than staying in Chessless situation.
每當他泄氣時都會提醒自己：面對現實比原地掙扎要好許多。
What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exits.
恐懼是來源于內心的，你自己設想的困難其實是一種負擔。
Change could surprise you only if you didn't expect it and weren't looking for it.
只有在你不去期待或者可以尋找的時候，改變才會讓你驚喜。
You change what you believe, you change what you do.
你相信什么，你怎樣做，你就會怎樣改變。
You can believe that a change will harm you and resist it. Or you can believe that finding New Cheese will help you to embrace the change.
你可以相信改變是消極的，但尋找目標的路上會幫你（擁抱）接受改變。
It all depends on WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE.
這都取決于 你選擇相信什么。
You could be more aware of the need to keep things simple,be flexible,and move quickly.
讓事物保持簡單，靈活，更快的運作。
You did not need to overcomplicate matters or confuse yourself with fearful beliefs.

but he knew it would be easy for him to slip back if he got too comfortable
