Who Moved My Cheese?

someone mentioned this book to me and as we all do, we whip it into good old google. little did i know how famous this book is. apparently it has changed peoples lives! well thats quite appropriate for a book that  tells you to welcome change. 

anyway, the book uses a fable to tell the story of change. and how complexity usually isn't the best option. keep it simple and welcome the change that is taking place. it begins with 2 mice and 2 small humans. the different attitudes and the journey to change. using the cheese as a metaphor for the goal you have set out and a maze as the journey you take to getting there. [you can google a better summery]

for muslims it highlights some nice topics. when things change, both ease and tribulation, its always from Allah so embrace it. hold strong and have faith that Allah is the best of planners. also eludes to becoming attached to things can cause a delusion. therefore hindering your progress on this journey. continuous gratification for what you have now because you never know when it can vanish. also not becoming content and comfortable, because these lead to laziness. just a few i have reflected on. maybe you can read it and let us know your feelings?

Read this book, you will like it. relate it to yourself it'll bring about interesting thoughts. very thin about 100 pages, the story itself is only 50 pages long. taking you a couple of hours to read. though i'm sorry to say it won't unveil the secrets of life to you, but it'll give you another perspective on things. happy reading.
