必经之路
tangle
Haw's fear of failing---getting lost makes a fool of himself
害怕失败 生活中十分常见的心态
Hem's hope of finding New Cheese faded due to Haw's discouragement
本来自己有的希望，有的想法的确十分容易受他人影响而渐渐暗淡
action 1——dig a big hole
found no cheese at all
Haw was beginning to realize the difference between activity and productivity.
意识到活动和生产力的区别（有点不懂
Haw was getting tired of waiting for the situation to improve and he knew they were losing their edge.
每个人遇到改变起初都会经历这样的过程吧。但就看是下定决心去改变还是停留在原地直到失去希望。
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?"
纠结问题的来源：外界因素的影响or自我本身做出改变来应对
Haw didn't feel confident enough yet——It seemed his progress was 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards.
做决定是很难的，在行动中不免感觉行路困难。
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.
泄气时要问问自己 面对现实去努力改变还是活在对过去的苦恼 愤怒 无奈中
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.
虚拟，有时间去担心这担心那把事情复杂化，不如想一想怎么努力去改变现状
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?"
虚拟，假如我不害怕，我会做什么？ 这样想更能给人力量8
Haw remembered the times when he had felt his best in the maze——It was when he was moving along.
在做出行动去改变的时候才是感觉最好的时候
Haw realized he had been held captive by his own fear. Moving in a new direction had freed him.
意识到被自己的恐惧支配了，朝着新方向努力让他重获新生
action3——finally...
Haw felt energetic ~
纠结过后看清了形势 决定再次出门冒险，做出改变
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.
说服他人未果，只能一个人往前走。生活中很多时候我们都必须学会独自前行。
WHAT MADE HEM HAPPY——he wasn't being run by his fear.
不受恐惧支配了 肥肠开心辽
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 他不会再因为恐惧而停下脚步 他要朝着目标前进 一个能让他充满力量的新方向
About Hem...
虚拟语气表现出对过去的后悔..过于担心失败，挫折是绝对无法向前走的
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
想要的东西太多
not having it last as long as wanted
只要想要就一直想着去获得
more what could go wrong than what could go right
想什么会发生错误想得太多 要多思考怎样让事情变得正确
Cheese should never be moved
想要的东西永远在那，就看你自己了
the change wasn't right
改变，不是个正确的事儿
Now he realized
it was natural for change to continually occur ,whether you expect it or not
是人总要改变的，因为世界一直在变化
Change could surprise you only if you didn't expect it and weren't looking for it.
别放太多注意力在改变上，它只会出其不意，让你惊喜
Haw
let go of the past
让过去那个丧丧的自己见鬼去吧！
adapt to the future
适应你总要面对的未来吧~
He realized that
being afraid to change that he had been holding on to the illusion of Old Cheese X

what made him change?
the fear of straving to death 5%
learn to laugh at your own folly 95%
最主要要学会正视自己的错误

the bigger inhibitor to change lies within yourself, and that nothing gets better until you change.

SAVOR THE ADVENTURE AND ENJOY THE TASTE OF NEW CHEESE
BE READY TO CHANGE QUICKLY AND ENJOY IT AGAIN
THEY KEEP MOVING THE CHEESE !
MOVE WITH THE CHEESE AND ENJOY IT !
Chapter 3 讨论
人们都想逃避自己对于改变的恐惧
像Hem这样的人
他们认为自己想要的东西是自己应得的
当他们想要的被夺走他们认为自己是受害者并且责怪他人
他们变得越来越差劲当身边的人都释怀向前看了
好句
While in the past we may have wanted loyal employees,today we need flexible people who are not possessive about "the way things are done around here".
如今我们更需要灵活应对事物，对已经尘埃落定的事物没有占有欲的人（想着走自己的路去改变？

计划永远赶不上变化，我们要学会随着生活应变啊
Sometimes some fear can be good.When you are afraid things are going to get worse, if you don't do something,it can promote you into an action. But it is good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.
