Chapter 1 引子
以一場同學(xué)聚會上的聊天為始。長大后的同學(xué)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炕吸，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.???

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(tài)
Hem's hope of finding New Cheese faded due to Haw's discouragement
本來自己有的希望树肃，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(chǎn)力的區(qū)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(jīng)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瀑罗。
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(jié)問題的來源：外界因素的影響or自我本身做出改變來應(yīng)對
Haw didn't feel confident enough yet——It seemed his progress was 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards.
做決定是很難的胸嘴，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(xiàn)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.
虛擬斩祭，有時間去擔(dān)心這擔(dān)心那把事情復(fù)雜化劣像，不如想一想怎么努力去改變現(xiàn)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，假如我不害怕停忿，我會做什么驾讲？ 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蚊伞，朝著新方向努力讓他重獲新生
action3——finally...
Haw felt energetic ~
糾結(jié)過后看清了形勢 決定再次出門冒險席赂，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.
說服他人未果吮铭，只能一個人往前走。生活中很多時候我們都必須學(xué)會獨自前行颅停。
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(biāo)前進 一個能讓他充滿力量的新方向
About Hem...
虛擬語氣表現(xiàn)出對過去的后悔..過于擔(dān)心失敗谓晌，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(fā)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
改變癞揉，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
是人總要改變的纸肉，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，它只會出其不意喊熟，讓你驚喜
Haw
let go of the past
讓過去那個喪喪的自己見鬼去吧柏肪！
adapt to the future
適應(yīng)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%

你想要的永遠都在那里烦味，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(shù)的恐懼都是荒謬的，阻止他改變
THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE,YOU CAN BECOME EXTINCT.

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.

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

如今我們更需要靈活應(yīng)對事物壁拉，對已經(jīng)塵埃落定的事物沒有占有欲的人（想著走自己的路去改變谬俄？
