According to me, winning in a any task is not that they are succeeded in his or her life, scores are used for fixing target for a particular game or a task. So, it is needed sometimes to take decision that which team is performing better and to motivate them to achieve anything big.

Nowadays, only based on scores only, the school students are entering into a good college. Good marks are used for particular period and not for entire life. So, avoid seeing the scores and see each and everyone's talent. In sports, they use the scores to fix a goal, if the runs are not there, then they will not show interest and their hidden talents.

That's why they are keeping scores or runs for all fields to become our world as competitive one. So, each and every one should not keep score as target, they should improve their own skills in various fields, that shows winning is everything and it's reality.

In my opinion, winning is not everything but it is most of everything, when person strives for something with his whole heart and puts in efforts he deserves it and for that scores are must, even for the loser he gets to know where he lacks and can always improve as there is always a room for improvement.

Hello I am Shubh.

We all know that every coin has two sides either good or bad. In the same way when two persons try for the same thing then there is always a competition. Same condition is in case of sports winners get good prizes i.e. medals and looser don't get anything at that time the question comes if is it really right?

Friends, winning and loosing never matters in any case on how much did you contribute in doing that task matters so much. And if we think on other side that if winning is not everything then why there is competition. Then I wanna say that if there will be no competition then people won't give their best because people work with exception that they may get something and if there isn't any competition then no 1 will take interest hence competitions is necessary.

If scores are not there it makes the judgement of winners difficult and also scoring is necessary in order to evaluate who is performing better than the other. Winning is not everything but there is nothing without winning anything.

Yes, winning is not everything but at the end of the day when we achieve something with a decent score it keeps us motivated. The will to work harder drives us which fetches better results in future. So we can say wining is one of the best possible way to decide where one's life is heading and one can also unleash their hidden potentials at times.

And when it comes to score it acts like a benchmark which helps in distinguishing between the meritorious and non-meritorious people. Basically, this is one parameter to decide between win and lose.

In my point of view wining is not everything. But do hard work for winning is most important I want to explain this with one example which happen with me. I and my friend Asma participated in many competitions every time she said we have to score best and we must win in this competition.

Every time I said her that if we do our best then we must win due this I become more confidant and we try our best and we got it. If sometime you not able to win then also ok. Because life has every time a second chance. You can improve your mistake which done in before competition and try next time at that you defiantly win.

Because of this we improve our drawbacks. After listening our opinions and according to my opinion I concluded that wining is not everything and scores must important in any game.

Dear friends,

In my opinion winning is surely a good feeling a sense of achievement of one's hard work and determination and in the other hand scores reflects how much hard work we have to do and workout on our mistakes again and again. Scores makes a game or an exam more interesting, it creates competition among the players and urge them to give their 100% without scores it would be like food without salt in it.

Interesting! Main exams is not everything, why do they keep writing external exams, because it's helps to further improvement, without score. How do you justify about player Ability? Very simple without a score board you can't judge how much that player needs to improvement.

Practice made more perfect.

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.

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.
