We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.

We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside and the inside may and does go outside. They are of each other. Form and function thus become one in design and execution if the nature of materials and method and purpose are all in unison.
