In the short story "Finding Your Howl", Mumon is a red wolf who along with the rest of his pack is facing extinction. In order to survive he must find his howl. In other words this is a story about someone finding their own voice and coming of age. Mumon encounters a deer and a raven who both give him advice on finding his howl by telling him how to look for it. However, it isn't until he is shot by the farmer and sacrifices everything that he finds it. The point of the story is that everyone has their own distinct voice and you just have to look inside to find it.
"Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward" - Victor Kiam
Victor Kiam is a philosopher who has written several books on philosophy. This quote is appealing for several reasons. It has a good message that can apply to a lot of people's lives, and a lot of people can most likely relate to it. Also, i feel it could really be applied to the film industry. It is a tough market where one is probably going to encounter some failures before they have any luck.
The quote is basically saying that even if you don't succeed at something right away you still gained by making an effort. Trying something new is better than doing nothing at all. When you fail at something the first time you always have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Therefore the first time is always the hardest and once you get it out of the way everything gets easier. In the film industry it is always good to put yourself out there, even if the result is bad because thats how you make connections and learn. Many people have trouble trying new things, which is why i think this quote will be understood so easily. It is a very good motivator for people who need that little extra push to be adventurous and try something new. I think the quote is also appealing because it is a bit comical in the way it is written. A lot of people find humor as a good means for dealing with embarrassment or failure which is what the quote is all about. I think this quote has a really good message and works well because so many people can relate to and understand the meaning of it.
