美篇导读
《谁动了我的奶酪》是由美国作家斯宾塞·约翰逊创作的一个寓言故事，内容充满了人生中有关变化的寓意深长的真理。这是一个有趣且能启蒙智慧的故事，内容主要是在描绘四个住在“迷宫”里的人物，他们竭尽所能地寻找能滋养他们身心、使他们快乐的“奶酪”。
美篇呈现
Everyone laughed.
“They wanted to sniff out the changes ahead of time① and scurry into action，rather than get hemmed in and be left behind②.”
Nathan said，“That's a good point. No one in our company would want to look like Hem. They might even change. Why didn't you tell us this story at our last reunion？ This could work.”
Michael said，“It does work.”
“It works best，of course，when everyone in your organization knows the story—whether it is in a large corporation，a small business or your family—because an organization can only change when enough people in it change.” Then he offered one last thought： “When we saw how well it worked for us，we passed the story along to people we wanted to do business with，knowing they were also dealing with change. We suggested we might be their ‘New Cheese’ — that is③，better partners for them to succeed with. It led to new business.”
That gave Jessica several ideas and reminded her that she had some early sales calls in the morning. She looked at her watch and said，“Well，it's time for me to leave this Cheese Station and find some New Cheese.”
The group laughed and began saying their goodbyes. Many of them wanted to continue the conversation but needed to leave. As they left，they thanked Michael again．
He said，“I'm very glad you found the story so useful，and I hope that you will have the opportunity to share it with others soon.”
大家都大笑了起来。
“他们都想提前嗅出变化的味道，并且赶快投入行动，而不再是落在后头哼哼不停。”
内森说：“这是一个好点子。我想我们公司的人都不愿做哼哼，他们甚至可能会（因为这个故事而）改变。上一次聚会时，你为什么没有告诉我们这个故事？要不然，它早就起作用了。”
“它确实有用，”迈克尔说。
“而且非常有用！尤其是当你的机构中的每个人都知道它时——不管是大公司，还是小企业，或者是你的家庭——因为只有当其中的多数人的心态发生改变以后，一个组织才会发生变化。”
最后，迈克尔又给大家介绍了一个经验：“当这个故事对我们的公司起作用以后，我们便把故事告诉给那些我们希望能和他们在生意上有合作的人，因为我们知道他们也正面临变化。我们提议说，也许我们公司就是他们（正在找寻）的‘新奶酪’，也就是说，我们可能就是能让他们的生意更成功的合作伙伴。这方法（的确）为我们带来了许多新的生意。”
这番话使杰西卡受到启发，她想起上午要谈的几笔业务。她（赶紧）看了看时间，说：“喔，时间到了，该是我离开这个奶酪站，去寻找新的奶酪的时候了”。
大家都会心地笑了起来，然后站起身来互相道别。尽管许多人觉得意犹未尽，还想继续聊这个话题，但时间的确已经不早了。分手的时候，他们再一次感谢迈克尔。
迈克尔说：“我非常高兴你们觉得这个故事对你们有用，我也衷心希望你们有机会尽快与别人分享这个故事。”

美篇导读
《谁动了我的奶酪》是由美国作家斯宾塞·约翰逊创作的一个寓言故事,内容充满了人生中有关变化的寓意深长的真理。这是一个有趣且能启蒙智慧的故事,内容主要是在描绘四个住在“迷宫”里的人物,他们竭尽所能地寻找能滋养他们身心、使他们快乐的“奶酪”。
美篇呈现
Everyone laughed.
“They wanted to sniff out the changes ahead of time① and scurry into action,rather than get hemmed in and be left behind②.”
Nathan said,“That's a good point.No one in our company would want to look like Hem.They might even change.Why didn't you tell us this story at our last reunion This could work.”
Michael said,“It does work.”
“It works best,of course,when everyone in your organization knows the story—whether it is in a large corporation,a small business or your family—because an organization can only change when enough people in it change.”
Then he offered one last thought: “When we saw how well it worked for us,we passed the story along to people we wanted to do business with,knowing they were also dealing with change.We suggested we might be their ‘New Cheese’ — that is③,better partners for them to succeed with.It led to new business.”
That gave Jessica several ideas and reminded her that she had some early sales calls in the morning.She looked at her watch and said,“Well,it's time for me to leave this Cheese Station and find some New Cheese.”
The group laughed and began saying their goodbyes.Many of them wanted to continue the conversation but needed to leave.As they left,they thanked Michael again.
He said,“I'm very glad you found the story so useful,and I hope that you will have the opportunity to share it with others soon.”
大家都大笑了起来。
“他们都想提前嗅出变化的味道,并且赶快投入行动,而不再是落在后头哼哼不停。”
内森说:“这是一个好点子。我想我们公司的人都不愿做哼哼,他们甚至可能会(因为这个故事而)改变。上一次聚会时,你为什么没有告诉我们这个故事 要不然,它早就起作用了。”
“它确实有用,”迈克尔说。
“而且非常有用!尤其是当你的机构中的每个人都知道它时——不管是大公司,还是小企业,或者是你的家庭——因为只有当其中的多数人的心态发生改变以后,一个组织才会发生变化。”
最后,迈克尔又给大家介绍了一个经验:“当这个故事对我们的公司起作用以后,我们便把故事告诉给那些我们希望能和他们在生意上有合作的人,因为我们知道他们也正面临变化。我们提议说,也许我们公司就是他们(正在找寻)的‘新奶酪’,也就是说,我们可能就是能让他们的生意更成功的合作伙伴。这方法(的确)为我们带来了许多新的生意。”
这番话使杰西卡受到启发,她想起上午要谈的几笔业务。她(赶紧)看了看时间,说:“喔,时间到了,该是我离开这个奶酪站,去寻找新的奶酪的时候了”。
大家都会心地笑了起来,然后站起身来互相道别。尽管许多人觉得意犹未尽,还想继续聊这个话题,但时间的确已经不早了。分手的时候,他们再一次感谢迈克尔。
迈克尔说:“我非常高兴你们觉得这个故事对你们有用,我也衷心希望你们有机会尽快与别人分享这个故事。”
