When nothing can be perfect

Of course things can be perfect.
Hitting a homerun is perfect. Everytime your heart beats well enough to sustain your life, it was a perfect heartbeat (since you're not dead, I'll assume your heart has beaten perfectly thousands of times by now). When your plane landed without you dying or being maimed, it was a perfect landing.
Anything that fully accomplishes it's purpose is by definition "perfect".
Practice enables you to obtain the ability to perform perfectly by reinforcing acts that lead to a perfect outcome, and discouraging acts that detract from a perfect outcome.
And when someone says that nobody's perfect, what they are really saying is that nobody meets their particular expectation of perfection. But everyone's perfect to at least one set of expectations.

I have always thought that that is a ridiculous saying. How can you perfect something if you are practicing it wrong? And if you perfect it on the first try, then why must you practice?
Also, "perfect" is in a matter of opinion. So, yes, it is possible to be perfect, depending on one's point of view.

Nobody is perfect. The the more you practice the better you get. In some things that took a lot of prctice some people are pretty close to perfect.

Because they are sick in the head! Practice will never make anything perfect, but it will make it permanent. If you learn it wrong and practice wrong I guess your mess will be perfectly wrong...... I may need some sleep!

Trial and error is a practical method in which knowledge is obtained. Failing in an act teaches us not to repeat that process and how to improve the act so that it won’t fail.

So we can always strive for perfection and get better.

most likely because practice makes better is not very inspiring.

When you try something for the first time you may not be very good at it. If you keep trying you may improve.
mind you if at first you don't succeed...then parachuting is not for you
