Practice makes perfect?!?

Question

"practice makes perfect"

"nobody's perfect"

so why practice at all?

Answer 1

I think "nobody's perfect" means no one is consistently perfect. There is no ball player that ends his career with 0 mistake. "Practice makes perfect". means that the interval between making mistakes can be lengthed with continued practice and striving for perfection.

Answer 2

you aren't perfect, but there is no way to practice "yourself" right? so practice makes a defining characteristic as perfect, but not the whole thing perfect.

Answer 3

Yes. But the quote is just trying to persuade you to practice and practice on a skill, you might get it perfect on it. But you'll never make you're self perfect, so just the skill.

Answer 4

Nobody's perfect on the whole as nobody can concentrate on everything butwe can become perfect in a domain.I think i deserve a best answer for my answer.
