The saying is "practice makes perfect." It doesn't have anything to do with being a perfect person, just being perfect at what you are doing. And yes, no one and nothing is PERFECT, but it's easier to say "practice makes perfect" than "if you keep doing it over and over than you will get better at it." Which is what it means.

Dear Vikas, I agree with you, if you have taken the litteral meaning of it. But, dear. let me tell you that this saying "practice maketh man perfect" is applicable to a particular trade, technique or procedure. Just by doing any practice, a man will never become perfect. But, think of a junior engine mechanic. Practice can make this junior engine mechanic a very perfect engine mechanic over the years of experience and practice. In fact this is what is meant by the saying. Same goes for all sorts of trade or test. Hope, you get this point. Love. Anson

Oh, I see what you're getting at...
Practice makes perfect (not makes the man perfect). Yet, nobody is perfect. Ok...
Practice makes you better at your SKILLS. Basically, it's the repetition of something in order for you to improve. I think this is where you are confused. You know, you could be perfect at something, but you definitely cannot be perfect at EVERYTHING. Thus, the saying 'Nobody's perfect'.
Do you get it now? My main point- your skills (reading, riding a bike, etc.) may be perfect, but overall, you are just human. You make mistakes, and you are not perfect (Maybe close to perfect, but still...)

There has been people who has been perfect. Besides that, the practice prepares your soul to be able to deal with the further life. =P

"Practice makes perfect" This statement is crap... I like to say Practise makes improvement, that is more logical.

I think people practice so they don't mispell 'practise'
Other than that, we'll all be destroyed by the sun or a meteor one day, so just have fun for now!

You can't be perfect but you can be more perfect than the lazier guy.
