This video is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid.

"Who Moved My Cheese" is a way to deal with change in your work and in your life. It was written in the style of a parable or business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice ("Sniff" and "Scurry,") and two "little people" ("Hem" and "Haw."), during their hunt for cheese.

The cheese as something related to our livelihoods—our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in—although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have is no longer available.

Answer 1

One thing that is unchangeable is change and most of the time it is unpredictable and just evolve. The world has seen many changes that transformed civilizations and it has seen many changes in the 19^th and 20^th century. The society is constantly changing and the people are constantly changing too. These changes in the society in terms of technology, changes in the education system, competent job market, and increasing population has turned the world upside down. So, the present day students are more knowledgeable, more independent, more innovative and more tech savvy. It becomes obvious that the teacher be prepared for such students. The teacher cannot blame the students by saying that there is a generation gap and the students are not behaving or studying well. It’s very important to understand as a teacher that most of the teachers do not change with the fast paced world. They remain same. As the saying goes, ‘teaching is the only profession where people stop learning once they become teachers’, we need to constantly update our knowledge, skills, personality and teaching style to suit the learners thus encouraging more participatory learning.
