  2. Or “Who Moved My Cheese?”By Spencer Johnson, M.D. SAIR OCT 2005

  3. “Who moved my cheese?” • “Once, long ago in a land far away, there lived four little characters who ran through a Maze looking for cheese to nourish them and make them happy.” • Their names were Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw. SAIR OCT 2005

  8. Haw SAIR OCT 2005

  9. “Who took my cheese?” SAIR OCT 2005

  10. Haw’s advice to Hem • Having “cheese” makes you happy. • The more important your “cheese” is to you, the more you want to hold on to it (or to get it back, when it is missing.) SAIR OCT 2005

  11. Exercise 1 • What is your “cheese”? What makes you happy? What would make you happy? What is the best “cheese” in the world? • On the paper labeled Exercise 1, make a list of three things that make you happy- something which if taken away you would want to get back?

  12. Haw’s clue on adaptation • If you do not adapt to “new cheese”, you can become extinct. SAIR OCT 2005

  13. Haw’s advice on fear • What would or could you do if you were not afraid? • When you stop feeling afraid, you can start to feel good. SAIR OCT 2005

  14. Haw and cognitive dissonance • Imagining yourself enjoying your new cheese can lead you to it. SAIR OCT 2005

  15. Haw’s advice on environmental scanning • Smell the cheese often - so you know when it is getting old. • Movement in a new direction helps you find cheese. SAIR OCT 2005

  16. Haw’s words on getting to your goal • The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese. • It is better to search in the maze, than remain in a cheese-less situation. SAIR OCT 2005

  17. Courage quotes • “When I am holding on to the past, I don’t have my hands free to reach the future.” • “To cross an ocean, you have to leave sight of land.” SAIR OCT 2005
