Winning isn't everything, which the subject of our discussion is, but it certainly is important. A great deal of exuberance enlightens our mind and soul when we end up on a winning note be it in sport, competitions or in any sphere of life. And scores add value to it. They keep an eye on the status of the players' performance. What if there is no concept of scores! There will be no competitiveness among the participants, also the spectators or the audience won't relish the proceedings of the game.

Bottomline, scores are essential for any sport!

Hello everyone according to me, assume life is like stairs or steps through which we have to pass if we reach up to certain level it doesn't mean you are win. If any one loss it doesn't mean you can't do any thing. If we learn from failure we can do better and better thing which is an not expected by any one. I can give example, everyone know sir Thomas Alva Edison invented bulb, before this invention he fails many time. Edison believe in his ideas and result is we are able to enjoy electricity. If we talk about score it is only system which is used to filter any candidate.

Hello friends,

In this world of competition, does we all really feel that winning isn't everything? I don't think so. We are growing & living in such an environment where winning is compulsory either its sports or job or any other field in life.

In our country winners are highly respected like those who won medals at commonwealth asian or olympic game and they are rewarded but those who lose are not even encouraged. They had to do it there own. Even in our society, those who have achieved good place in life are valued but those who are still trying are some time demoralised by society.

Its true, we can't win all the time but score keep us aware of the area where to lay emphasis so that we should not fail again.

One more thing, if winning were not so important, none of the students at IITs or those preparing for competitive examinations would have committed suicide.

Hi friends.

Winning and losing their in life it is the fact one time we are losing means we have to try many times on that time we have to improve our self confidence. We have to try our level best. We have to remember one thing we are losing means we are learning more knowledge and some particular subject. We are winning means you don't learn completely.

If scores are not there it makes the judgement of winners difficult and also scoring is necessary in order to evaluate who is performing better than the other. Winning is not everything but there is nothing without winning anything.

Games and sports are loved for their competition entertainment zeal and teamwork. A country like India where cricket is part of day to day life of people if scores will not be kept then there will be any competition as players will know that they are not going to loose team spirit will vanish there will be no entertainment and zeal as there will be no hustle and games and sports will lose their fan following and charm.

However, this is also right that winning isn't everything because by participating you at least learn every time. So scores do matter.

Thank you.

Hey, guys.

According to me,

Winning isn't everything of any game/work.

Winning isn't important if you participating.

If you win the game/work, you can motivate by you, If you lost they're your mental pressure has gone high.

It depended on you that Winning is not everything.

Hello everyone.

Acc. to my point of view, there is two meaning of this statement, first, participation in the game and second proof for what you are participating for, if we take part in the game, it shows that there is a quality of accepting the challenge and there is a challenge in the game if we set a target (score). Yes, it is truth that winning isn't everything but if we didn't get anything after participation, it will totally useless and if there isn't any target then we keep moving and moving in the space. So if we win or loose the game doesn't matter but what you get from this, is the point.

Thank you.

Yes, winning isn't everything but there is a requirement of something to measure one's performance. So that it will help to improve once performance & to give better result next time. It will also help to play more enthusiastically So I think there is need of score for performance measurement.
