Book review: Who moved my cheese?

Quotes
The mice did not overanalysed things. To the mice, the problem and the answer were both simple. The situation at Cheese Station C had changed. So Sniff and Scurry decided to change.
There is a difference between activity and productivity.
He wondered if he had bitten off more than he can chew. Then he laughed, realising that he had nothing to chew on at that moment.
He now realised that change probably would not have taken him by surprise if he had been watching what was happening all along and if he had anticipated change.
He decided that he would stay more alert from now on. He would expect change to happen and look for it. He would trust his basic instincts to sense when change was going to occur and be ready to adapt to it.
Haw kept thinking about what he could gain instead of what he was losing.
The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.
It was natural for change to continually occur, whether you expect it or not. Change could surprise you only if you didn’t expect it and weren’t looking for it.
New beliefs were encouraging new behaviors.
You can believe that a change will harm you and resist it. Or you can believe that finding New Cheese will help you and embrace the change.
He realised that the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly - then you can let go and quickly move on.
He often went out into the Maze and explored new areas to stay in touch with what was happening around him. He knew it was safer to be aware of his real choices than to isolate himself in his comfort zone.
What we need to let go of and what do we need to move on to?
Let go of old behavior instead of letting go of the relationship. Repeating the same behavior will just get you the same results.
As far as work goes, maybe instead of changing jobs, I should be changing the way I am doing my job.
A change imposed is a change opposed.
Holding a picture of New Cheese in their minds - seeing themselves doing well in a new job - made them feel better, and helped them do better in job interviews.
An organisation can only change when enough people in it change.
Writing on the wall
The more important your cheese is to you. The more you want to hold onto it.
If you do not change, you can become extinct.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Better late than never.
Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese.
When you stop being afraid, you feel good!
Imagining yourself enjoying your new cheese leads you to it.
It is safer to search in the maze, than remain in a cheeseless situation.
When you see that you can find and enjoy new cheese, you change course.
Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.
They keep moving the cheese. Change happens
Get ready for the cheese to move. Anticipate change
Smell the cheese often so you know when it it getting old. Monitor change
The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese. Adapt to change quickly.
Move with the cheese. Change.
Savor the adventure and enjoy the taste of new cheese! Enjoy Change!
They keep moving the cheese. Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again & again
Whatever you do, don't get stuck on the one thing that ruins your day. Smile and be grateful. Life is too short to waste on negativity.

Life is not a race to be finished; it’s a dance meant to be danced.

Alan Watts http://www.alanwatts.com/alan-watts/
The existence, the physical universe is basically playful. There is no necessity for it whatsoever. It isn’t going anywhere. That is to say, it doesn’t have some destination that it ought to arrive at. But that it is best understood by the analogy with music. Because music, as an art form is essentially playful. We say, “You play the piano” You don’t work the piano. Why? Music differs from say, travel. When you travel you are trying to get somewhere. In music, though, one doesn’t make the end of the composition. The point of the composition. If that were so, the best conductors would be those who played fastest. And there would be composers who only wrote finales. People would go to a concert just to hear one crackling chord… Because that’s the end! Same way with dancing. You don’t aim at a particular spot in the room because that’s where you will arrive. The whole point of the dancing is the dance.
But we don’t see that as something brought by our education into our conduct. We have a system of schooling which gives a completely different impression. It’s all graded and what we do is put the child into the corridor of this grade system with a kind of, “Come on kitty, kitty.” And you go onto kindergarten and that’s a great thing because when you finish that you get into first grade. Then, “Come on” first grade leads to second grade and so on. And then you get out of grade school and you got high school. It’s revving up, the thing is coming, then you’re going to go to college… Then you’ve got graduate school, and when you’re through with graduate school you go out to join the world. Then you get into some racket where you’re selling insurance. And they’ve got that quota to make, and you’re gonna make that. And all the time that thing is coming – It’s coming, it’s coming, that great thing. The success you’re working for. Then you wake up one day about 40 years old and you say, “My God, I’ve arrived. I’m there.” And you don’t feel very different from what you’ve always felt. Look at the people who live to retire; to put those savings away. And then when they’re 65 they don’t have any energy left. They’re more or less impotent. And they go and rot in some, old peoples, senior citizens community. Because we simply cheated ourselves the whole way down the line. If we thought of life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at that end, and the thing was to get to that thing at that end. Success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.
