Who Moved My Cheese? Escape the rat race!

Sometimes to be rich, you have to be different...~
Here is how I put it, I've read this simple book by Spencer Johnson, Who Moved My Cheese?. International bestseller with over 24 million copies sold worldwide.

In short, the story talks about a group of mice (Sniff and Scurry) and a group miniature human (Hem and Haw). Both groups lived in a maze to look for cheese, which represents happiness and success.

Apparently after some time they ran out of cheese, Sniff and Scurry were prepared to look for new cheese in different stations (areas). However Hem and Haw were too afraid to go out and explore new stations in search for new cheese.
Throughout such desperation, Haw proposed to look for new cheese but Hem rejected. Hem feared of the unknown and danger outside of the comfort zone. Therefore Hem decided to go out and explore new stations for cheese alone. And so, Haw left without Hem to look for new cheese. 

After some time Haw realized that he has found new happiness and understand that cheese is always out there, but needs to be explored and discovered.

You have to read it on your own, I can't write the whole book in~ its way too long.
But the main lesson here is that, if we reserve our mind to stick to the same thing, it may cause danger if something goes wrong. We should not be afraid of changes.

I've actually seen a lot of people suffered, working too many years. Too reserved and they dare not change their full time job because they fear that they can't earn enough to support their life. Therefore they are caught in the rat race again and again!

If you want to be rich, you have to be different. If working for company makes you richer and happier...stick to that until you prosper.

If you hate your job but you dare not quit in fear of not earning enough, then do something.
Start planning financially, keep yourself aware of how to make money work for you. Invest!

Next post, I wanted to share some view of picking a right stock of value investing. For beginner may get to learn how to slowly pick a stock for long term. As the company grow, our money grow together with them.
