They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds. -Winston Churchill

Not being perfect is the best part of being human. As we move along from the nursery stage of our life’s journey into being an adult we should become more daring to learn.

Direct translation of something that you would want to say in your own language into English or any other foreign language can be funny.

Having been in many different countries I have experienced that sometimes people who spoke broken English made me laugh. The English some of them spoke was funny and they always drove a point home. Many a time I had wished that I could speak exactly like them.

Years later, if I met the same people and they had improved their English they may be not that interesting to listen to any more. After all what's so funny in normal English?

I have heard or read the following phrase somewhere. “It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others”.

I made many people laugh when I first came to Germany, when I had to express myself in broken German language. As years went by I was not making any one laugh and I was not an object of amusement anymore. In a way I am not very happy about it today. Strictly business could really very boring?

However, for the benefit of those who want to learn, the link below could give you lots of information on using English, may be one day to near perfection.

Always remember nobody’s perfect and trying NOT to be what you are makes you an imposter.

Trying to be what you are, you could be unique and make people smile.
