You have a point. In Germany people have a more realistic view of practice. It doesn't make you perfect there: Übung macht den Meister.

There's a flaw in your reasoning. Who has ever defined what perfection really is? 
If you set reasonable goals for yourself to achieve, and by practising, you manage to accomplish these goals; Then who in the world can tell you that you aren't perfect? To think that some day
you will never make any mistakes again is very illogical to think in the first place. So, I think that,
instead of thinking that perfection is a state in which you never make mistakes again, you had better set (reasonable) goals for yourself to achieve and work towards them. If you're able to do that, that's real perfection.  


Really just a matter of opinion. And by the way, I think people would become bored silly if there weren't any challenges in life.  

Just practise and be the best you can.

Whether anyone is perfect is completely irrelevant to the fact that practice makes perfect. In fact, if the goal is to be perfect, it only reinforces the believe that everyone should practice as much as he can.

 

(It's amazing that every post here teaches me something new: in this case that the combination of 'everyone' and 'he' is a complicated issue.)

Just use plural in that case.


Apropos, when do you people think that a pronoun which encompasses both sexes unfolds itself? It is bound to happen in some time, I reckon. After all, there have been a few suggestions already which, however, have not exactly met with too cordial a reception

To become nobody, apparently, since he's so perfect.

This reminds me of my nephew's 'wise words' : Why do I have to take a bath when I'd just get dirty again after playing?
