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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think winning or losing isn't everything for anyone and winning or losing is everything for anyone. If you took these thing in positive way then each thing tell you the truth means if you win then you will come to know that my hard work as well as smart work bring best from me to achieve success else then you will come to know that I need to work more hard and smarty because of some points I lose.

According to me Winning and Losing are a part of life. We should treat them normally. Score is important just to bring about zeal and that feelings to achieve that score that feeling of having an ambition in life to reach that particular score. If there was no score system then what would you fight for or work for so hard. We give exams for iit's engineering, jobs etc. What do wait for ?we wait for a score.

If we get less we try to improve that score and if get more we get satisfied that my hard work paid off. Winning isn't everything because at times when we lose at one point in life we gain even more after that, so this score system just makes aware of our hard work and efficiency.

Thankyou. :).
