It all depends on how you manipulate definitions.
In math two negative make a negative in addition. The result is variable in subtraction. With division or multiplication the answer would be positve.
In driving two "wrongs" don't make a right, but if the wrong was a left, 3 of them should get the right direction.
Practice perfects practices, not the practicers.

Because right and wrong isn't mathematical in nature. It's more...directional.
Say you're driving crosstown and miss a turn to the left. To get back on course, one option is to turn left at the next street, which would be the correct thing to do, but to make a second wrong, you'd have to turn right, going even farther off course.
Try it sometime, you'll see.
Now, about practice makes perfect...well, whoever said that was wrong. Practice makes improvement, and that's enough for most people.

Negative in math is not equal to wrong in life.
You can strive for perfection. Doing something perfect will not make you a perfect person.

1. Because humans aren't an equation on a piece of paper.
2. You can't really practice being human - you just are.

In math, one of the negatives is a "take away." If you had a wrong, and you took it away...that would be a right.

The same way postive and positive magnets repel and positive and negative attract!

well if you add 2 negatives then it adds to a positive.
