Imagine you're trying to convince your friends that you’re the best at hide and seek. You might say, 'I'm not always perfect, but I try my hardest.' Politicians do something similar, they use phrases like 'I’m not perfect, but I try my best' so people think they are honest and hardworking. It helps them win friends (or votes) even if they aren’t perfect.
Examples
- A kid says, 'I didn’t win the race, but I ran my best!'
- Mom says, 'I didn’t make dinner perfect, but I tried!'
- A friend says, 'I messed up your game, but I tried to play fair.'
