Hi,

Obviously winning isn't everything but sometimes we should consider score also. Why, because without judging capabilities of team player if any team win then it may be all players cannot get chance judge their own self that may decrease confidence of players so that score matters and as we know performance is mirror of every players to improve himself. So, I think score must be considered. Thanks.

Winning may be the primary goal for each game but what is the use of that game where scores are not kept. Scores help an individual, be it the performer, be it an opponent or be it an audience, it shows the calibre of a person, the form of the player and at the same time, it alerts opponents about the other's strength and weaknesses.

Hi my name is Nirmala. According to me to participate in any game is much important. Just we need to concentrate on our work. Give your 100% in a game. Don't think of just winning think how you can develop and be a role model for other players. Therefore winning is just not everything.

Hey I completely agree with this point. Winning in a task in not only the thing that forces us to do that task. Instead we learn something new & it gives us a proper feedback to us. But for that to do we have to set some goal point for task accomplish i.e. the need of scores in game & we have our target in front of our eyes to achieve.

Hello everyone,

Yes, winning is not important than participating because when when we participating in any competition we always think that I should receive a prize because I have done many many practice so I should receive prize.

Hi everyone,

In my opinion winning is not everything and scoring criteria should be kept because it will help in setting certain parameters that will help an individual to measure its performance and take corrective measures to improve the same. It'll also motivate an individual to fully utilize its energy and skills as well as to work hard to improve its performance.

I think that winning is important but only up to the point where you are satisfied with your win but not angry or too upset with your loss. As for keeping score, it's a way of determining how you need to improve and how you're already doing. Before even trying to win you need to know you strengths and weaknesses. Also, if you work hard, you are obviously more happy with your win. Even, so dwelling too much on a bad score prevents you from moving forward and trying harder.

Winning isn't everything but winning is most crucial part in life. Scores are mostly to show the difference between two or more people, I mean to know them in which position they are in their lives. Going blindly is not correct every time we need to evaluate our performance. Score is one way to evaluate our performance and move ahead as high as we can. Thank you.

I think there is need to be a clarification on this topic "If winning isn't everything, why do they keep the score?".

This topic refers to the spirit of game not that we should take part in the game without the spirit of winning.

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.
