"Well let's just say I didn't want to go out looking for New Cheese. I thought I had a good reason why change shouldn't happen to mc. So
I was pretty upset at the time."
Some of their former classmates who had been quiet in the beginning felt more fortable now and spoke up
including Frank
who had gone into the military.
"Hem reminds me of a friend of mine
" Frank said. "His department was closing down
but he didn't want to see it. They kept relocating his people. We all tried to talk to him about the many other opportunities that existed in the pany for those who wanted to be flexible
but he didn't think he had to change. He was the only one who was surprised when his department closed. Now he's having a hard time adjusting to the change he didn't think should happen."
"哼哼使我想起了我的一位朋友，"他说："所有迹象显示他所在的部门将被裁撤，但他不肯面对这个现实。公司为所有人做了重新安排。我们都试图劝说他，只要愿意改变，公司里还有很多其他的机会，但他始终觉得自己没有必要改变。当他所在的部门最终关闭时，他是惟一惊讶得不知所措的人。现在，他正在做出艰难的调整，以适应他认为不该发生的变化。"
Jessica said
"I didn't think it should happen to me either
but my 'Cheese' has been moved more than once." Many in the group laughed
except Nathan.
"Maybe that's the whole point
" Nathan said. "Change happens to all of us."
He added
"I wish my family had heard the Cheese story before this. Unfortunately we didn't want to see the changes ing in our business
and now it's too late -- we're having to close many of our stores."
That surprised many in the group
because they thought Nathan was lucky to be in a secure business he could depend on
year after year.
"What happened?" Jessica wanted to know.
"Our chain of small stores suddenly became old fashioned when the mega-store came to town with its huge inventory and low prices. We just couldn't pete with that."
"I can see now that instead of being like Sniff and Scurry
we were like Hem. We stayed where we were and didn't change. We tried to ignore what was happening and now we are in trouble. We could have taken a couple of lessons from Haw -because we certainly couldn't laugh at ourselves and change what we were doing."
Laura
who had bee a successful businesswoman
had been listening
but had said very little until now. "I thought about the story this afternoon too
" she said. "I wondered how I could be more like Haw and see what I'm doing wrong -- laugh at myself
change
and do better." Then she asked
"I'm curious. How many here are afraid of change?" No one responded
so she suggested
"How about a show of hands?"
Only one hand went up. "Well
it looks like we've got one honest person in our group!" she said
and then continued
"Maybe you'll like this next question better. How many here think other people are afraid of change?" Practically everyone raised their hands. Then they all started laughing.
