“I was reading this book in the post-COVID period. The book is philosophical, brief, and excellent. After reading it two or three times, we understand the message of this book and learn how to live a life. My favorite line in this book is, ‘If you don’t change, you can become extinct’. The book makes you confident and strong to face a new situation, and the author suggested that overthinking is useless to handle the situation; action is more important than overthinking. In life, change is permanent.
‘Change is inevitable’ to clarify the concepts the author narrated a four-character story that was you in a maze (life). They were faced with the same situations but reacted differently. They lost a cheese. The word ‘cheese’ is a metaphor considered as love, job, or money. Imaginary character mouse Sniff (mouse) is aware of change, scurries (mouse) to see changes, but fears to adopt. Imaginary character Man Hem (man) resists change; Haw (man) adapts to change.
All characters reacted to the situation with different attitudes. I was considering myself as a Him character who resists change. The author suggested matching your character to anyone’s character and imagining how you would respond to the new situation in life. The word ‘cheese’ considers any loving things, targets, goals, or loving persons in our life. In our life, everyone wants a cheese, such as love, money, or a job, but very few people succeed in life. Because they knew cheese depends on our thoughts and attitude. Attitude to look towards a life in the world. Every person is unique; their attitude is also unique. Many people think the traditional way to face a new situation is always disappointing. The author narrated a character mouse who was easily able to adapt to new situations without any hesitation. And other characters, men, who resist changing, are frustrated and depressed to adopt new situations. In the world, many people are unable to deal with changes; they are confused about how to handle the situation. Books suggest that to welcome new changes and stop old, wrong thinking. Analysis of the situation causes a paralysis of action. Always consider one thing: in our mind, the present situation is not a permanent situation. The book is very helpful for every student who is dealing with multiple social issues in their surroundings. I strongly recommend this book to every learner who faces a new challenge of life. book suggest to us comfort zone is very dangerous for our progress.book make us confident and free to adopt to change quickly and be ready to change. I liked phrase that ‘old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese’.
