Entry: WHAT ARE YOU, A MAN OR A MOUSE? Wednesday, June 24, 2009




What you are afraid of is never as bad as you imagine. The fear you let up build in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists. Fear cripples your imagination, limits your results and stops you from succeeding. You cannot stay the way you are, if you are not growing then you are dying.

From the book, "Who Moved My Cheese" by Dr. Stephen Johnson, stated that change happens. Whether you like or not, it happens. It is up to you how you will react. The book is about four characters (Sniff, Scurry, Haw and Hem) in the maze of their lives, looking for their cheeses (or dreams). They were able to find the cheese until suddenly, it was gone, or did someone moved it?

Sniff was the one who can see a change coming and is ready for it. Scurry who, when he realized that change is coming, eagerly got ready to move into action as fast as he can. Haw, waited till he was way far behind, realizing later that he needed to face his fears and should have moved on with the change earlier. Haw refused to change at first then learned to laugh at his stupidity and understood that one should be ready to adapt to change quickly. He decided that change is important if you want to survive. Hem never accepted the change, blaming others for his failures, never realizing that life could have been better if he had accepted change from the beginning.

If you are Hem, you will never get your cheese back, not unless you get your butt off that couch and move on. Get out of your comfort zone, let go of your fears and find your cheese. The story ending, Sniff and Scurry was able to find their cheeses quickly. Haw went looking for it later, and eventually found it after he choosed to act inspite of his doubts. Hem, of course, never did leave his comfort zone, and continued to lived his life wondering where his cheese went. Be a man, don't be like Hem, if you want that cheese, get it. Don't sit there, forever in your little area, waiting for a miracle that your cheese will arrive. It will not come, you need to go looking for it.

Do you have the courage of a man? or are you a whimpering coward mouse?
The only permanent thing in this world is change. Face it or whither and die.

The difference between a successful person and a failure is not the size of their dreams, but the actions they take. Before sending me a message, ask yourself first, Are you willing to take the action?
