Practice makes perfect.

Practice makes perfect.

“Practice makes perfect.” This is a common phrase which is used by many coaches of different sports and teachers of different subjects. This phrase is incorrect in the way that the more you practice something, whether that something be a specific area in a sport, or whether that something be a lesson in a subject, when you practice you get better. Getting better in something depends on how much time you spend practicing, but no matter how much time you spend practicing you can never reach perfection. You can become tremendously talented in that subject or sport, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is the idea of never making a mistake, ever. Humans were made with flaws thanks to Adam and Eve, therefore, there is not a single human that can achieve perfection through practicing. Even when you practice to fix the mistakes made, new mistakes are always going to occur. Therefore, practice does not make perfect, but practice does make you better in a way of striving towards perfection. Since perfection is something which can never be reached, it is almost if practicing, which makes you better, allows you to grow closer to perfection, but you can never ultimately reach perfection.

Practice does not make perfect.
