Original WORDS…

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between the two words. In a recently held linguistic competition held in London, England attended by the best in the world Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man from Bachelors Adventure was the clear winner with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes. Here is his answer which made him receive an invitation to dine with Queen who decided to call him after the contest.

He won a trip to travel the world in style and a case of 25 year old Eldorado rum for his answer.

His final question was this…. How to explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand.Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED .

Here is his astute answer .... "when you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED.
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"

Guyanese are unique indeed in thought and action!!

I am not an english Guy but i think thats a very Simple question ..Complete is consider a successful and decent work Although Finished is Considered a Tired Word

When you marry the right one, you are complete.

When you marry the wrong one, you are finished.
