If Winning isn't everything, why do they Keep the Score?

As we have day-light & dark, right & wrong, similarly we do have winning and losing, but for it is to happen one should essentially and sincerely participate. So, which is first, is it participation or winning, undoubtedly it participation which comes first. Does participation is enough, no not at all; it is winning which matters most, because, a victory can only justify your preparedness & seriousness for participation.

For winning means you have tried hard but the victory is not permanent and loosing tells you have areas to improve. On the other hand, this is human tendency that we work only to achieve goals not bothering to enjoy the process of achieving it. The feeling of wining is always best and it boosts our confidence level, energy level etc. One should always need to strive for winning that should be in a true/fair manner. Irrespective of the strength of your opponent, you should come-up with a winning mindset. If you are not able to win, learn from the mistakes that you did and try not to repeat the same in future.

Some arguments claim that, winning or losing is always secondary. The primary thing is to participate or give an attempt. What matters is your attitude after a win or loss. A win does not mean you have achieved everything and a loss doesn't means you are left with nothing. If you have participated, that mean you have accepted the theory of life.

In this world of competition, do we all really feel that winning isn't everything? It is definitely not so. We are in such an atmosphere where winning is compulsory either be it professionally, personally, in competitions or in sports. Medal achievers are respected most and they are rewarded but what about those who lose.

Participation provides us a platform to challenge ourselves. We learn new things and develop various skills after taking up the challenge. Experience gained from the participation can be used to talk about in new and fresh tasks. Participation is just a process, not an endpoint where you keep on grasping from your understandings. Irrespective of the result one should concentrate on his strengths and should keep moving on in life.

Finally, Participation doesn't always guarantee success, but not participating almost certainly ensures failure.

Hi everyone.

The topic is " if winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?".

According to me, we humans have a mentality that until we are motivated with some internal or external source we generally don't put are 100% into that, similar is the case in score thing.

True! winning isn't everything but I feel score acts like a motivator for participants or competitors which puts them in stress for a while that in return helps in the betterment of their performance.

Undoubtedly what matters is participation but again at the end I would conclude by saying that scores actually enhances the enthusiasm and spark in the competition.

Hi friends.

" If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?".

My answer to this is of-course winning is not every thing the high score you got today may not be useful to got the today's cup but it will surely it will became a great inspiration for others and every one will get the result for their work so no matter on winning the current situation winning in your life is actually the great thing.

Your score may not help you for today's winning but it will definitely give you great achievement on tomorrow never give up.

"Winning is not everything".

This can be understood in 2 contexts.

1. For people who lost their game despite sincere efforts.

Here winning might relate directly to success. The team or individual is completely. Motivated to play hard. So loosing does not mean a great deal because such motivated. Teams and individuals are going to win someway near.

2. For situations where knocking down someone just means breaking a relationship.

In this context, you might win an argument and prove you are right but you lose. A valuable relationship in either of the contexts, the sentence is true.

Hello guys,

If an individual or a team is on a winning streak there is no big issue. That particular individual or a team will always be motivated and he/she/they will definitely try to win the next challenge which life throws at them. They will be having high probability to win the next challenge.

But what if someone is on a losing streak, for them "winning is not everything" this acts as a motivation line. Just to ensure that after their failure they shouldn't stop themselves to participate for next challenge. This justifies that they should keep try and shouldn't lose hope. Failure in one phase doesn't mean they will be failed in next phase.

And talking about scores, score is a numeric value onto which status of an individual or a team is determined. Let's assume scores are not included or we are not aware of score, then on what bases we'll be deciding one's status that is whether he/she/they lose or won.

Dear friends,

Winning is not everything and why scoring is needed.

According to me winning is not everything because every person gives his 100%. They always play like a competitor and the only one person can win. If we are assuming wining is everything it will hard to respect failure.

A score is also a important factor of any competition because it give you performance statistics. It gives your strength and area of improvements. Score brings positive attitude and caliber to do things next time. Score is used to do things confidently.

Not everyone can win but learn for sure. And it has seen people with clear objective evolve faster. Similarly if we scale one's win with scores there nothing wrong in it. Definitely one has to score highest to be a winner but it doesn't mean others don't have the skills/knowledge.

Yes, it may be that runner-up lose somewhere but it doesn't mean that can't bridge the gap. They are lacking somewhere which winner could lead. You do not need to be upset every time you lose but you should find the remedy.

Winning is the only thing, is it? It is true that winning is the form that makes competition what it is. It is the essence of competition. But winning is not life, it is just the good side of losing. Winning teaches you a few things but not everything.

No, winning is not "everything" and it is not "the only thing. " Turning failure to your advantage is everything! Learning from failures is the only thing. Failure is the lemon and learning is that proverbial lemonade.

1) The most essential thing in life is not conquering everything but fighting well for it.

2) Life isn't all about winning; it's about keeping the right attitude that is required to win.

3) Turning failure into an advantage and learning from them is the important thing.

4) Normally, when we achieve success, we get so busy in rejoicing that we actually learn little from it. When we fail, we can focus our entire attention on learning from it. We can learn far more from a failure than we might from a success. One who does not understand this about failure may win a battle or two, but may lose the war of life.

A well-known example is of Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb and many other useful things. Edison failed thousands of times before he hit upon the right solution. What others viewed as Edison's "failed attempts, " he considered them as "successful" experiments because they taught him what doesn't work. That opened the way for him to explore other options.

Winning is an important thing but what is more important than winning; it is the will to win. Winning and losing are two sides of the same coin both have their own effects. The road to success is littered with failures. The most important things are won in life only when one has learnt the art of conquering his/her failures.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion we do need to keep scores in any game because these scores make the game more interesting for the player as well as for the audience to watch out. Scores are important to analyze the strength and weakness of a player. If there were no scores there would be no enthusiasm because there would no benchmark to judge the performances of the team.

Also winning is not necessary since its just the outcome of one game. There may be just one winner in a game but there are many winners in life. Winning and losing are just parameters of life to inculcate sportsmanship in players. There is nothing bad in losing, bad is to consider yourself as a loser. So one should refrain from that. When we lose we learn from our mistakes and when we win we cherish our leanings. So in nutshell winning is not everything, its scores that judge ones performance.

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.
