According to My Opinion Winning is Not Permanent, Failure is Not final So, Play game To know your ability not to Judge your fate, Peoples love winners, So Everyone trying To Win, Failures teach you How to Win.

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.

We know by the score only who is winning, the winning is only is reach the goal, if the public to know what the score is till now by that only the the public can understand what score is going, to watching the match some enjoyment should be there. The score is mandatory.

I do agree that winning is not everything but keeping the score is necessary as it can create a competition between teams so that all of them could play with interest.
The one who has scored well would be happy for his hard work and the one who has scored less would try to improve.

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.

Hi Friends.
Winning is just a matter of our performance and the afford we have kept on a particular task in that duration of time. Based on that one can't be judged on his/her performance throughout the life. Scores shows the areas to develop and finally at one day we will also be a winner.
Thank you.

Hello friends,
"if winning isn't everything, why do they keep the scores" is very interesting topic. It tells us about two thing. One thing is wining and other thing is score. Yes I agree winning isn't everything but we can't ignore that after wining how we feel. Winning a game increase our confidence, level, pesonality. Now score is very important part of a game because score tells us where we stand and what we have to improve to do better and one more advantage of score is level of game increase because suppose someone score 200 in 20-20 cricket match then people would want more than 200 and then level of game will increase. One more thing when we play a game, we should forget about records always give your best that's main thing.
Thank you.

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!

Suppose it's roger federer competing against rafael nadal you want federer to win the title but the scenario is such that either of the players can win and suddenly within a blink of an eye you see nadal doing an ace to set match for himself. Everyone in all tennis club stand up and applause for the great guy. You see both the players approaching the net, they shake hands, may be give a hug or two as well, and then Federer leaves rafael alone to celebrate. Every one in the arena on their feet to congratulate rafal.
So, basically it's about competing well and giving it everything you have. At the end of the day, it's about the game not the players. To show the coming generation the kind of greats the game has given to the world. So, winning might not be everything but eventually you play to win. 'winning is not everything ' means to play fair but yet compete and compete to win. May be for the history of the game and for it's survival too. People come in numbers to support the game surely they don't want the game to end in a tie. No matter who wins the game would still be loved by peoples and just to end, you always want the best players to compete against each other.

Hi everyone. According to me keeping score is indirectly giving challenge to other competitors and helping to raise the level of competition. If people don't keep the score then there will be no race and no excitement. So it is important to keep the score to keep the game on.
