School is the practice for tomorrow. Practice makes perfect. Nobody's perfect, then why practice...???

Question

A wise man once said, "School is the practice for tomorrow. Practice makes perfect. Nobody's perfect, then why practice?". Well the man is actually Billie-Joe Armstrong of Green Day. I want to know your opinion about his statement....

C'mon people..nobody give their thought yet...c'mon..

Answer 1

I will answer your question with another question... Do you really think someone is going to pay you to do nothing? The government will give you well-fare, but that is a horrible way to live, barely making ends meet. Even Billie-Joe practised for something... it may not have been accounting, or med school, but his band practised, and played on a regular basis to get to where they are.
From what I gather Billi-Joe either really didn't know what he was saying, or it was poorly worded. He may have been trying to say... You don't have to go to school to make it big.
I would personally strongly disagree with doing that, because people can get tired of a one trick dog, and the more that you can do easier it will be for you to make a living.

Hey East Bay Punk... Who are you talking too??
If you are referring to me... I have one thing for you

00100-0000000100, or 0010000100

That is punk, and when you figure it out you can use it on yourself... but I highly doubt that will happen. A person doesn't have to be an uneducated dumba55 to be punk. Punk is rebelling against anything and/or everything. My favourite punk quote...
First person "What are you rebelling against?"
Second person "I don't know... What do you got!"

An egg on toast with cheese and wasabi mayonnaise. according to probability some sausage too. 10. i'm happy it would not come around too in many situations. 11. Yeah, happy to be executed with that. notwithstanding, i think that way approximately artwork... 12. How does it sense to be the author of the excellent amazing elite relaxing relaxing relaxing severe survey? can we anticipate yet another sometime quickly?

"Green day is like sex, when were good, were really good, when were bad . . . were still pretty damn good."

(At Mark Hoppus of blink-182): "Stop throwing **** or I'll jump in there and beat your ***."

(Speaking of blink-182): "Seriously, at first I was happy for them, but now I find it a little irritatign. I think they trivialise what we do, and punk rock in general. It's like throwing **** in the face of something or someone that had substance at one point. Didn't one of the members marry someone from MTV? I mean, what the ****? But if any band should be pissed off at them then isn't NOFX."

"Then all of a sudden we got introduced to punk music and it was the coolest ******' thing"

"I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons."

You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself."

(On Who's Most Accident Prone): "It used to be Mike, but lately I've been catching up."

(On MTV): "I don't see anything on it, all I see is shows. There is never anything on it. Just MTV talking about how cool MTV is."

"Mmm, you can almost smell the burning pork...Hey, you ever thrown rocks at cops?"

"You know, I knew the day that George Bush was elected president that we were in deep, deep sh-t. I knew it. I was like, 'Well, some sh-t's gonna hit the fan now,' 'cause, you know, the Bush family's been in the politics business for way too long to not have crazy enemies."
