Yeah, it's true, winning is not everything.

Think if a person wants to win every time even without doing hard work and when they lose suddenly then they will find mistakes in others, not in themselves.

Winning and losing is like a double-edged sword. If winning encourages us to continue same work in future then Losing equally teach us to do hard work, to realise our mistakes. Every time it does not matter to win but its matter to learn every time. When we lose we try to search for new ideas and we do lots of hard work for the great victory. After a lot of hard work and after searching new and great ideas to win, when a person succeeds with a great victory then he/she realise the importance of losing a game and realise how that lose turn them into a strong man.

So winning does not mean to think we are stronger then anyone but its like to realise that we are capable to do anything and there is nothing impossible to do any task unless we put our hard work. Winning is just to encourage people but a person who chooses his field with passion and interest, for them winning and losing does not matter. The only thing is matter is to do their best in that field and to learn from mistakes.

Being a sportsman, it feels bad when we lose. But that's not the point where we stop it's that point where the entire team focus on to improve, we fight for win and scores never mattered me yet.

No, well winning a match and keeping the score are two different things. Whenever you are playing, you play with an expectation of winning. Everyone plays for it. But the question is what if you don't win?

In every match, each player gives their best to make their team win. The competition is not only between the two team, it is between the players as an individual. As individual players need to improve their skills too by making more score than their previous one. The winning of a team doesn't depend on a single player but an individual winning definitely depends on their daily performance. And if there any lack of their performance they can learn from it and do better in their next match.

Hi, guys,

We will discuss it by an example of cricket. If viral is scoring well definitely he is doing it for winning but unfortunately sometimes he loses the match.

Losing the match doesn't mean that Virat's effort went in waste. It simply means that he put his best no matter matter they win or loss.

So Winning isn't everything it is effort which ensure your next victory.

Hello friends,

According to this topic, winning is not everything, your participation and sincere efforts is what of utmost importance. If you think that by completing certain work in life, will notakr way for your goal. So, if you choose to not to work on that and wait for your type of work then it's wrong. If you choose to work on it, then you will gain experience of how to tackle problems, your weakness in certain areas. So it will improve knowledge that will help you to gain success in the work that is need to be achieved.

So, we always need to score or participate, although the winning or achieving it is not important to us.

Yes. Winning is not everything. But if there will be no scores there would be no competition. If there will be no competition there would not be any zeal and enthusiasm. And most important if there would be no winning then there would be no losing also. Which is integral to move forward whether in games or in life.

Winning or losing is not the matter, participation is important. Participatio certificate is provided to motivate the players. Score is there to know where the players are? Participating on everything is good. Winning is secondary. Just participate and success will come for you.

You win or lose, your life doesn't end there. Here the importance is given to the participation.

If you win it shows how hard work you're.

If you loose it shows where you have missed. So that you can work on it, and correct them in the next match.

They keep the score because to increase the level of competition between two teams, If there is no competition there is no game.

I think this sentence can be determined in two ways first one is if we win any game are task our parents feel so proud of us all though they also have some expectation from us. Not only on the game but in any felid or task. On the other hand, if we lose the game we can analyse ourself that how much we have to work hard on that particular game are a task.

Everybody proclaims that winning isn't everything, well that has a modicum of truth but the question is why do we keep the score?

The answer to this question is pretty simple, people work to satiate their hunger for success and scores are just the motivation to get ahead. Everybody needs some motivation or incentive which the scoreboard is providing in this case. Scores define your performance, it reflects those areas where you lag so that you can work upon it and also highlights the areas where you excel. Participation and sincere efforts that you put in is for a purpose and winning is that purpose, it is that goal which has to be achieved.

Goals in life give you a certain direction. People move in the direction of their goals and defeat every hurdle with zeal but if there's no goal there's no direction. When we say winning isn't everything, we imply the fact that our life does not depend on the outcome of a game. The cardinal point is the learning process which is facilitated by the scoreboard. Winning and losing are just the superficial parts of a game, the main aim is to improve, participate, perform and do better every time.
