I Moved Your Cheese By Deepak Malhotra - 1875 Words

In the book I Moved Your Cheese, by Deepak Malhotra, Malhotra introduces us to three main characters, Zed, Max and Big. Zed, Max and Big are three mice that live among other mice in a maze. The daily routine of these mice consist of searching the maze for new ways to find new cheese. However, Zed, Max and Big are all free thinkers. They want to understand why the maze exists, why the cheese is constantly moving and most importantly who keeps moving their cheese. The unanimous answer on how to solve these mysteries is to get out of the maze so that they can see what answers they can find beyond the walls of the maze. In order for this to happen Zed, Max and Big had to identify their own individual strengths. Max was excitable.

As Max stared in disbelief at the wall, Zed yelled from the other side of the maze in agreement with Maxâ⠂¬â„¢s assertions that the outside of the maze was indeed different than the inside. The next day Max met Zed so that he could explain what he had done. Zed explained that he was able to walk through the wall because he believed in his ability to do so in the same way Max believed he could escape his way. Big was a little different, he was reserved and had his own opinions and views regarding the maze. It was Big’s consistency and preparation that made Big’s beliefs equal to that of Max and Zed’s. One day, after Big had gotten as strong as he thought he needed to be, he walked over to a wall, punched a hole in it and walked out of the maze. The years of hard work had finally paid off and Big too was now free from the maze. I believe that throughout this book Malhotra presents four very distinctive points. The first point is that when you feel trapped in the maze of life, you can plan and escape it like Max. The second point is that if you are not an action-orien ted person like Max then you can outthink the maze and find your way out like Zed. The Third point is that if you are not an action-oriented person like Max or a philosopher like Zed then you can be a builder like Big. You can find a skill that you are good at and become great at
