Find Your Howl

Find Your Howl

            In Find Your Howl a wolf has been kept in captivity so long that he has forgotten how to hunt, howl and be a wild beast like he is supposed to be.  Upon trying to hunt a deer, the deer spoke to him.  The deer asked him who taught him how to hunt, Mumon answered that no one did.  He just knew how.  The deer continued by telling him his howl was the same.  Mumon the wolf caught the deer and ate him.  After finishing his meal he felt guilty for have eating the deer.  But now the deer was apart of him and he took pride in knowing that he had become his old self again.  He could now go back and lead his pack the way he was supposed to.

A quote that I found to be very meaningful for the media industry is this:

“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.”
William B. Sprague

This quote inspires me to continue trying to network, and perfect my craft.  It reminds me that no one at any time will come along and give me what I wish to have.  I have to make it happen on my own.  Set back and disappointment is inevitable and will happen almost every instance.  However, I only need to work hard for one opportunity.  By striking the iron and making it hot I can create my own opportunity.
