Don't quit teaches the story of Deepak Goyal, the graphic designer

Engineering was in trend and I followed it without giving any second thoughts. In my first year, out of five subjects I got back in three. After failing six times in Mathematics I understood engineering is not my cup of tea.

My family was always supportive and they asked me to pursue the field in which I have an interest. After investing almost three years in engineering I decided to do a diploma in Graphic Designing.

I thoroughly enjoyed my course and secured A grade in all assignments.

Randomly, I created a page (Designgiriindia) on Instagram and posted my work. Unexpectedly my followers increased, resulting in more clients and orders. I also received work from a few clients Abroad.

What if, after failing for those six times, I would have given up? Or what if, I would have not tried only after failing for the first two times. I am proud that I did not lose hope. Engineering taught me that people will always have an opinion. Some will praise you, others will make fun of you. If you are persistent and strong enough, life will bestow over you ample new opportunities.

In 2019, after doing R&D in the field of salons, I inaugurated my first salon in November. We plan to expand it as a chain all over India starting with four in Indore till 2022.

In college, with my friends, we opened an NGO. Our motive was to pass knowledge, a gift that is a priceless possession. We found slum areas and made the students read and write. However, understanding the importance of school, we contributed funds out of our savings and enrolled around 80 kids to school. Till now our team has taught almost 450 students. The joy of giving cannot be expressed, after all, it's the little things in life that matter the most.
