Complete and Finished
No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the
difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, in a recent
linguistic conference held in London, England, and attended by some of
the best linguists in the world: Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese, was
the clear winner.
His final challenge was this: Please explain the difference between COMPLETE
and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand.
Here is his astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are
COMPLETE. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And,
if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY
FINISHED!"
