Why Do People Believe Practice Makes Perfect

People always say practice makes perfect, and the same people are saying nobody is perfect, then why do we practice?

We practice so that we can become better at what we are doing.People may tell you that “practice makes perfect” but they aren’t trying to say that what you put your mind to do will become perfect over practice. Instead, they are trying to express that the more you practice something, the more you will become better at that skill to the extent that you can do it efficiently without error. When you can do something without error, it means that you’ve mastered that skill or molded it to the point that if something was launched at you, you would be able to solve it or deal with it without uncertainty.

Why does the phrase "practice makes perfect" exist if people also say that nobody is perfect?

This is a problem that people have been struggling with since the Ancient Greeks, and it led them to stating a difference between “being” and “becoming”. A thing that is in a state of being is capable of perfection. “Being” means that it exists, unchanging because it does not need to and that equals perfection. A thing in a state of becoming is unable to be perfect because any change implies a lack and something that was once imperfect will forever be imperfect.In the phrase “practice makes perfect” the term “perfect” refers to completing a skill with technical perfection, completing it exactly as it should be done, whether it is a piano sonata, a punt in football, or painting a landscape. In each of these cases they can be done with technical perfection. The sonata can be played exactly as written and with emotion. The punt can be done in such a way that the punter’s body moves exactly as it should, and the painting can be done so that it is the ultimate embodiment of the view and a technically perfect example of that style of painting. In each case “perfect” describes an instance of an action that stands as an unchanging whole, the act is in a state of being.In the case of “nobody is perfect”, there are two ways to interpret the word “perfect”: morally, or in terms of how often they achieve technical perfection in what they do. In the first case everyone makes decisions of at least questionable morality. In this way no one is perfect. In the second case, the first few times someone does an act they are guaranteed that they will not achieve technical perfection at leas a few times. In this way they must change their technique over time to achieve acts of technical perfection. In this way humans will always be in a state of becoming.And so, an act can be perfect and a human can never be perfect. Both statements are simultaneously true because they refer to different types of things: one of which can be perfect, the other cannot.

Do you believe practice truly makes perfect?

To become you must first not become. Knowing how to move is not the same as feeling what is there and then not being there? What you do in practice must be forgot to become perfect. As you grow to trust the things you do not know, but feel in the minus of who you are then you will understand the things you do are always perfect in the absence of practice. Perfection is found in no practice. All paths that lead to perfect are not the same? It is the I in the aesthetic reached where still is found without.

Why does practice make perfect?

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes habits, not improvements. If you are practicing piano, and you practice excessively fast or without regards to dynamics and tempo, play certain measures off-beat each time you get to those measures, and with bad fingers and/or hand position, you will need to practice MORE to unlearn those habits and re-practice with better habits.If you constantly practice an instruments with improper form and bad musical habits, you will strengthen those bad habits more and more.Lots of bad practice can be worse than no practice at all. It may take months to learn to type “properly” if you learned to type by yourself in an inefficient and non-ergonomic way.If you know what you are doing though, practicing good habits will strengthen good habits.From a neurological standpoint, doing something like practicing something will strengthen some synapses, and leave other synapses unstrengthened. Over time, the constantly strengthened synapses become quite strong, while the other synapses weaken slightly.

If practice makes perfect, and there is no such thing as perfect, why practice?

Ever hear of Zeno's paradox? In a nutshell, he says that you shouldn't ever be able to get anywhere, because in order to pass from point A to point B you must first travel halfway, then half of the remaining distance, then half of the remaining distance, and so on. Since you can do that an infinite number of times before you get there, you'll never arrive.Now, there are a number of things wrong with that paradox, but even accepting it literally, you call still get so close to point B that you're essentially there.  Hence, while practice will not impart literal perfection, it will get you progressively closer and closer. If you can't reach perfection, you can still approach it closely enough that the space between you is entirely theoretical. I'd call that close enough.

If practice makes perfect, then why is nobody perfect?

Perfection applies to the quality of a product one can create, perfection in work. Perfection as a individual self will be useless to this world. A perfect individual needs nothing from this world, he abides in his own self and stays as just a witness. Ignorance creates imperfection to exist and this ignorance makes one engage in the business of life.Bliss is divine. It is much higher pleasure then that one get in sexual union. Not every one can experience bliss of self that is beyond the senses.However, people are ignorant of it, they have no idea about taking up required process and procedures in life to manifest bliss.Instead of being in the bliss, they seek sensual pleasures that Animals also get without much efforts. Many believe that attains pleasure of heaven is great, if fact it is another booby trap that God has created, there is only sensual pleasures in the heaven. They pleasure is also not real, but a dream.Body is mortal, made of elements which are mutually destructive, they debilitated, decay and die. One needs the knowledge and wisdom to drive bliss. This is available not with physical practice but getting free from body and mind. These days there are not many who can help in this area of divine existence. Switching of states needs shifting in awareness.

Which is correct:" Practice makes perfect" OR " Practice makes perfection?"

I would slightly combine, modify those two:“One who practices perfection, becomes perfect”In other words if we start practicing, “play acting” perfection - a next, a more desirable, more optimal developmental state that looks from our point of view as perfect - we become perfect, we become what we practice. Habit becomes second nature.Like famous ‘method actors” who devote themselves so much to the role they are supposed to play that they actually become like the character they are playing in an indistinguishable way, we can also dress into, become what we wanted to become.Of course for this happen we need a closed, purposeful, mutually supportive and mutually complementing environment that uses a unique method that can help us “upgrade” our original software, but using these tools we can gradually change ourselves until we become the best version of ourselves we can ever reach.Habit Becomes Second Nature | Laitman.comPlay The Game Of Bestowal | Laitman.com
