How to be Haw?!

Nice rhyme. haha. I know you’re wondering who the heck is haw? He’s a character from the book “who moved my cheese?” My new favorite character and adulthood hero. hahaha. Obviously, I’ve liked the book so much. So I posted here some good ideas I’d like to remember when I’m strained with change/uncomfortable situation, and of course, to share it to people who would want to learn the trick. It helps to just keep on passing and spreading the cheese. So here goes:


In General:

“Keep life simple. Don’t overanalyze or overcomplicate things. When the situation changed and the Cheese had been moved, change and move with the Cheese.”

“Ran past your fear and paint a picture in your mind of finding ‘New Cheese’. Running through the maze became less fearful and more enjoyable. And you’ll eventually get a better deal.”

“Change really can lead you to a new and better place, although you’re afraid it won’t at the time.”

“There is always New Cheese out there whether you recognize it at the time or not. And that you are rewarded with it when you go past your fear and enjoy the adventure.”


To Oneself:

“You only start to change when you learn to see what you’re doing wrong; laugh at yourself; change and do better.”

“The fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly-then you can let go and quickly move on.”

“The biggest inhibitor to change lies within yourself, and that nothing gets better until you change.”


In relationship:

“Let go of old behavior instead of letting go of the relationship. Repeating the same behavior will just get you the same results.”


In your career/business:

“Instead of changing jobs, maybe I should be one of the people helping my
company change. I’d probably have a better job by now if I did.”

“The further we went into our organization, the more people we found who
felt they had less power. They were understandably more afraid of what the
change imposed from above might do to them. So they resisted change.
In short, a change imposed is a change opposed. Learn to adapt faster, for if you do not adapt in time, you might as well not adapt at all.”

“When we saw how well it worked for us, we passed the story along to people we wanted to do business with-knowing their organizations were also dealing with change. We suggested we might be their ‘New Cheese’, that is better partners for them to succeed with. It led to new business.”

Remember to learn how to change and be better. Nothing beats a positive attitude towards anything, including change.
