Practice makes a man perfect, but nobody is perfect; so why practice?

Question

Practice makes a man perfect, but nobody is perfect; so why practice?

Answer 1

The thing is practice doesn't make a man perfect, it makes him better.

To practice or not to practice is up to you. You don't have to practice, in fact, you can pick your nose all your life, doesn't make any difference. No one will ever be perfect, but can come very close to perfection if they practice a lot.

Example: Olympic champions. They practice hard every day and if they win a medal they are pretty d**n close to perfection. But only few people are determined as much as they are.

To make ourself perfect

Answer 3

I know nobody is perfect but still each one of us practice trying to achieve perfection !!! Nice question a star for you .

Answer 4

you're right,

practice just takes us closer to perfection

Answer 5

when they say "practice makes perfect", it means practicing  something specific makes you perfect at that, example dancing sports, whatever..

it doesn't mean that it makes you a perfect person...

and "nobody is perfect" refers to nobody being a perfect person.. people can be perfect at something specific, but they are not necessarily perfect human beings..

does this make sense?

I think the moral is practice makes you better.

but saying "Practice makes you better" just sounds lame. so practice makes perfect!
