Last week

Several months ago I was so surprised knowing that "who moved my cheese" was introduced to 1 backpacker by IKEA talent manager. And I got this one in basic leadership training. Also remember that Peter gave me the book to read in my first week in Haarlem. After that I realized within IKEA we promote people read the book. We promote change.

Come back to the book. I've known it quite sometimes already. 7 years ago I saw a small nice book at wrong shelf in my favourite bookstore. It was in Vietnamese. The Vietnamese book was in yellow with several pieces of cheeses on it. The paper was very nice, attracted. As it was in wrong place so it was very obvious. I took it up and started reading. Then I stood there finished the book within 1 or 2 hours. I left the book store with 3 items. Right after I sent 2 of them to my closest friends in Hanoi. I sent notes together with the books which my friends still kept and showed me just last year when I visited them. I could not believe that the book had changed me that much. I was so exited :).

In fact I met the book when I was about to leave university. It was the moment I had to think about my future. Which way I should go after. I was in the situation that felt sorry, regreted of the past 4 years in university. I wished I could make it better. As I graduated from university with not very high score and ... no skills.

The book changed my thoughts. I started everything with new future in my mind. Now I'm here reading the book one more time. In English. A new other future is been drawing.
