It moved my thoughts

原書で読めるか不安だったのですが、とても簡潔でわかりやすい英語で書かれていました。 自分の価値観に凝り固まらず前に進む勇気をもらいました。

日本人にもわかりやすい英語

ダメもとで購入してみたのですが、英語はかなり容易なものでした。安心の薄さなので、ちょっと頑張れば、高校レベルの英語がわかれば読破できると思います。内容も、ためになりそうです。

Cheese―Intriguing Metaphor

Cheese―this is the most intriguing metaphor I've ever seen! I still have no idea why Spencer Johnson used that, but it seems to me that he used Cheese as means of social skills or flexibility. I guess we must get rid of our old cheese to adapt to any changes. Otherwise, we will be likely to be left behind or social loners. According to this book, 2 mice, Sniff and Scurry were sophisticated enough to get new Cheese. On the other hand, 2 Littlepeople, Hem and Haw got agitated because the Cheese at Cheese Station C, where they felt comfortable, disappeared out of the blue. At first, they gradually ran out of their energies, not knowing what to do next. However, Haw began to think twice as he wrote the messages on each wall for Hem. Therefore, Haw got back on his feet again and found New Cheese at Cheese Station N, where he could be friends with Sniff and Scurry! What happened to Hem? He was so stubborn that he dwelled on Cheese Station C, where no cheese existed. Unfortunately, nobody can tell whether Hem would change his mind. But everybody in this story would feel happier, if Hem decided to get New Cheese instead of sticking to Old one! Anyway, I'd say no one can promise what you have is always useful forever, because everything changes in the world.

Pithy but there is more

I have just recently read this book and FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz Sensei and I have to say that while the former was fun, the book by Sensei not only had more substance but helped my to recover my Buddhist roots.

What's my 'cheese'? and where is it??

A quick reading, but one that will remain. It is a metaphorical parable that makes you nod everytime you turn a page. The book begins with a section called "Parts of all of us"; a section which I found interesting. It helps you relate yourself with the characters and the situation depicted in the main story. The book will probably help you clarify your current situation and direct you towards your goal. Have fun reading the book, and Good Luck to all! 和訳を読まれた方・・・原書を是非読んでみてください！！） If you have read the Japanese translation, please try the original. The English is not at all difficult! Give it a try!!
