There are three types of people in this world. The ones who accept change as soon as the change happens, the ones who hate change and only think pessimistically about it, and the ones who are skeptical at first but then eventually accept the change and make something positive out if it. People should be more like this; doubtful at first but after much deliberation accept the change.

The first type of person is the person that accepts change as soon as it happens. In the short film, "Who Moved My Cheese," the characters Sniff and Scurry, and Hem and Haw, are faced with a huge change when their cheese has been moved to a different area of the maze. Sniff and Scurry, two little brown mice, are upset at first, but after a short while they get their running shoes and right away go to look for the cheese, not wasting any time. They looked at the moving of the cheese as a great opportunity to explore the maze, and eventually they found the cheese. Meanwhile, Hem and Haw were still at the old area, where the cheese used to be, sulking away, not accomplishing anything.

It is pointless to behave like this because it is a waste of time and nothing gets resolved if this is all a person would do if faced with change. Haw soon realized this.

Finally, the third type of person is one that is hesitant at first but after analyzing the problem of the change soon become aware that he/she must do something in order to make the change useful. Haw was unsure at first of what would become of himself as well as Hem but

when he noticed how bad their situation what getting, he came to the conclusion that they should be like Sniff and Scurry and go look for more cheese. He tried to convince Hem that their behavior wasn't getting them anywhere and that they should make an effort to look for more cheese. Hem, being stubborn, declined, and so Haw went out to look for the cheese by himself and he soon found it.

People should be more like Haw. It is natural that people are upset when faced with change and they would rather not go through it, but it is a part of life. People must accept this. I admit, I don't
