Change and courage

很早以前就听过《谁动了我的奶酪》，却迟迟没看，但因为是现在，所以可能是个更好的时机。
先摘录一部分值得我们深省的几个段落，作为后续的引子：
-The more important your cheese is to you, the more you want to hold on to it.
-Haw said:”Sometimes, Hem, things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times. That’s life! Life moves on. And so should we.”
-“What would I do if I weren’t afraid?”
-When you move beyond your fear, you feel free. Haw looked down the dark passage way and aware of his fear.
-Imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before i find it, leads me to it.
-Haw kept thinking about what he could gain instead of what he was losing.
-He wondered why he had always thought that a change would lead to something worse. Now he realized that change can lead to something better.
-The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.
-He was happy when he wasn’t being run by his fear. He liked what he was doing now.
-Just realizing he was not letting his fear stop him and knowing that he had taken a new direction nourished his and gave him strength.
-It is safer to search in the maze than remain in the cheeseless situation.
-What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine.
-The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.
-Now he realized it was natural for change to continually occur, whether you expect it or not. Change could surprise you only if you didn’t expect it and were’t looking for it.
-He knew when you change what you believe, you change what you do.
-You can believe that a change will harm you and resist it.Or you can believe that finding new cheese will help you and embrace the change.
-It all depends on what you choose to believe.
-He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly, then you can let go and quickly move on.
-In short, a change imposed is a change opposed
很多人看完后会对号入座，你是Sniff, Scurry,还是 Haw，Hem， 可能每个人多多少少都逃离不了Hem的影子，我们害怕改变，因为改变带来的是未知，未知代表着你会脱离你目前的舒适区，未知，有可能是bad thing, 也有可能是 something better,但你首当其冲感受到的，确是fear。初到北京的时候，每次搬家的时候，换工作的时候，一个人到一个完全陌生的城市的时候，失去什么的时候……这些生活上的变动，每一次每一次都像是要把人撕碎了一样，我以为是选择恐惧症，其实哪有什么选择恐惧症，我们不过是害怕选择，害怕选择所带来的后果。
看这本书的时候，我想到了旅行，其实一次旅行真的不会突然让你成长，也不会一下子给了你所要的灵魂的归宿，更不会空降给你一个信仰。真正让我迷恋的是，在一片完全陌生之中，一切没有很糟糕，我可以成为任何我想成为的状态，我见到更多我没见到的人事，我切身体会到道听途说的景色事物，这一切的感官，在我的舒适区之外，却是the better one，或者可以说，是战胜自己恐惧后的喜悦与自得，成就。
久而久之，每次做决定的时候，总是先把能想到的坏结果都想到，然后问了问自己，能承受吗？能！那么就迈开了脚步，我把每次的决定都当成一场赌博，不是每次的胜算都是100%，但我可以接受那0%的成功率，那100%失败的结果我也能承担，如此，简单了很多。可这还不够，Sniff和Scurry是靠着自己的直觉，Haw是靠着自己的思考，我并不想成为谁，但我不要只依靠直觉而行动，把它视为赌博，本身，还是缺少了迈开脚步的勇气。
当你征服了你害怕的，才是征服了你自己，不，不可以这么定义。但目前不知道用什么样的话语来表达这个意思。
如果你不能embrace the change,那就adapt to it. 至少，不要在没了奶酪后只是拍着脑袋问“谁动了我的奶酪？” 改变必不可少，勇气的价值在于你是主动改变，还是被动而抱怨这改变。
