Good thing Quote by Sheila Watt-Cloutier
““But the difficulty I had being front and centre, as well as all the other obstacles the job presented, made me realize that struggles follow you for a reason in life. They follow you until you learn how to overcome them, and come to clearly understand what your life’s intention is: that the greatest challenge is to remain true to yourself and to your beliefs.The self-reflection and growth I went through in those early days at the Makivik Corporation were good things.””
