“I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man”
— Alexander Hamilton

Simplified Meaning:
People aren’t perfect, so we shouldn't expect anything they do to be perfect either. For example, imagine a child drawing a picture. The child might color outside the lines or choose unusual colors, but that's okay because they're still learning. Similarly, adults make mistakes because nobody is flawless. When a chef cooks a meal, it might not taste perfect every time because cooking involves trial and error. Understanding this helps us be more patient and forgiving with others and ourselves. Instead of focusing on flaws, it's better to appreciate the effort and progress people make.
