How one story has been helping people accept change for over 20 years.

來看一則故事如何在過去的二十幾年間持續幫助人們去接受轉變。

　　Who Moved My Cheese? is the story of two mice, Sniff and Scurry. The pair live in a maze and are always searching for cheese. With them in the maze are two tiny mouse-sized humans, Hem and Haw. One day, they all find a huge amount of cheese. It should be enough to last them a lifetime. But then...

　　《誰搬走了我的乳酪？》是一個關於兩隻老鼠 —— 「嗅嗅」與「快快」的故事。這兩隻老鼠住在迷宮裡，一直在找尋著乳酪。和牠們同住在這個迷宮裡的還有兩個如老鼠般大小的小小人 —— 「哼哼」與「哈哈」。某一天，他們都找到了巨量的乳酪。這應該足夠他們吃一輩子了。但後來……

　　The humans quickly get too comfortable. They show off how much cheese they have, and they believe it will never run out. At the same time, the mice are always ready to move on if the cheese ever runs out.

　　小小人很快地就變得過於安逸了。他們總是炫耀著自己有著多少的乳酪，並認為這些乳酪永遠吃不完。這兩隻老鼠於此同時，則一直準備著要是乳酪吃光了，就接受現實接著找新的乳酪。

　　One day, of course, the cheese disappears. The mice are ready and move on to find more. The humans, however, believed the cheese would always be there. They get angry and yell,“Who moved my cheese?” Hem stays behind, but Haw goes on to look for more cheese. As he goes, he writes down lessons he’s learned on the walls of the maze, like “Change happens” and “Enjoy change.” In the end, he finds a new source of cheese, and Sniff and Scurry are already there.

　　當然囉，有一天乳酪全部消失了。老鼠早就做好準備，繼續去找尋更多的乳酪。但小小人認為這些乳酪會永遠在那裡。他們很生氣，大喊著：「是誰搬走了我的乳酪？」「哼哼」留下來沒走，但「哈哈」繼續去搜尋還有沒有更多的乳酪。一路上，他在迷宮的牆上寫下了所學到的啟示，像是「改變總會發生」和「享受改變」。他最後找到了新的乳酪來源，且「嗅嗅」與「快快」早就在那裡了。
