Oh no ... No cheese for me!

Was having a discussion with a few friends over lunch on Friday about the book “Who Moved My Cheese”. We were five of us, of whom 2 hadn’t read the book.

I personally love this book. I like the concept, the way the thoughts are put across. It has complicated ideas and suggestions for betterment, illustrated in a very simple manner.

One friend said, I just don’t understand what you like about that book, I don’t like it.
Another said, I read the book like a fairy-tale. Read it like a story but didn’t pay much attention to the principles explained in the book, that why I think I liked it.

But for me, the book provided a great insight into how change affects people and how they react to them. Its something that happens to everyone, but for someone to explain it, it’s a mighty task.
There is one simple sentence in that book that I have adopted as a part of my thinking process. This is something I try to apply in my life whenever possible. The sentence goes:
There are various junctures in life, when my heart prompts me to do something, which it knows is right - but then I hesitate and think if I should be doing it. That’s when I ask myself, “If I weren’t afraid, what would I do?” and …. then I know the answer :)
