Since their founding in 1938, Knoll has used innovative design to create compelling work environments and products that inspire and endure. Building on history, research and experience, Knoll has become the definitive source when it comes to the latest developments in the contemporary workplace.

In this round of The Secret to Your Success, with the idea of evolution in mind, we took a look at how creative professionals build on their experiences to achieve success. Many of you mentioned education, hard work, collaboration. But, a few of you also focused on the importance of making mistakes, tweaking, reiterating.

As designers, we know how important this is. Whether self engineered or just the stuff that happens, it's clear that failure isn't the opposite of success, it's just a step along the way.

@Sedanimal Disappointment is just a 14 letter word for adjusting.

@thestarry_night Remember that for every failure, you are one step closer to success. Never give up!

@jake_frey ALWAYS jot down that little thought, concept or idea because you WILL forget it later.

@therealsamwize Don't be afraid to fail. Just be sure you don't.

@is_firps You can't succeed if you don't even try! Putting yourself out there may be scary, but necessary.

But, our favorite tweet this week comes from Brian Cherbak (who actually had a few insights about failure—hope he just didn't have a bad week).

@cherbabm Life is an accumulation of your actions, not just the actions. Don't be discouraged because one thing didn't go well.

Brian is an engineering student in his senior year at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute Indiana. He's currently on co-op working as a Battery Engineering Intern at Tesla Motors. Cool!

Thanks for the insight, Brian and enjoy your new Generation chair from Knoll. And, remember—if if at first you don't succeed...well...you know.

Our next and final winner will be selected November 1!
