[Ads-l] move the cheese

[Dave Hause]

I can't resist commenting on this book:  for a purchase price (luckily in 
paper back) of about $12, it had about the least valuable thought per dollar 
of any "assigned professional reading" I have ever encountered.  I kept it 
in my office until I retired to remind me of the folly of purchasing this 
instead of standing at the book rack for ten minutes to read it 
cover-to-cover.

Presumably alluding to Spencer Johnson's 1998 book "Who Moved My Cheese?",
which uses an allegory about mice in a maze to impart motivational life
lessons.

"It would be all so easy if you had a map to the Maze.
If the same old routines worked.
If they’d just stop moving 'The Cheese.'
But things keep changing..."
