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.

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.

Hi, I partially agree with the topic that winning isn't everything, but it is something. One always has a second chance to do better and for the same score is used. It is to scale ones effort and talent. If someone loose because the other one is more talented, than he/she must use more effort next time, so to win over other's talent. It matters when someone is paid for winning or they do lots of hard work. It does not matter only when it is just for fun.

Instead of focusing on what other people are doing, just try to realize your own dreams. Dreams can turn into reality, if we move towards them consistently. Just be focused towards your dreams and goals of life. If you want to achieve your goals, it simply means that you have to take proper steps at the right time. It is never too late to realize your dreams and follow them with full passion and enthusiasm. If you work hard and do all the planning, then you can surely achieve your goal easily. Through competitions, you can get a chance to win many opportunities which can help you to fulfill your dreams.

Hello everyone,

What my opinion here is scores are the points which we are getting in any competition. As far as competition is concern competitions are there to judge the one's ability that how can he or she handle's the situation in the given sort of time.

So what I think here is competition is something which is needed to judge an individual and his mental ability as well. Also, it tells us how confident one is in handling a situation.

Thanks.

Yes, we all admit that winning isn't everything but according to me scores are mandatory because whether it is cricket, hockey, badminton or something else, 1 thing is similar in all of them, they all are a "game" a play of performance, and performance can only be measured in terms of scores.

Moreover, if scores were not there it would be very difficult to know where to stop. As apart from time score is the biggest factor that fixes the end point of a game.

According to me, score is not just a number. It shows the performance level of a team or an individual. If you we go in deep we find, it's true that matches are only for amusement and fun but a team/individual wins that only because of their practice and support of associations. That also shows how their countries support sports. Lastly, score helps in keeping the spirit and motivation of game alive.

Well, friends the topic in discussion here is forcing us to focus deeply on the root level of games and sportsmanship. Winning is not everything, it means that there is no value of a win if someone does not possess sportsmanship. It's a fact that every team on the field plays for victory only and to compare the performances of the team, the score is necessary. That's why it is said winning is not important, the way you play the game is important. As match score can only calculate one's performance but not sportsmanship, they are restricted to field only whereas sportsmanship is a part of personality.

Hello, Guys, I think the first and foremost important thing about a game is participation.

Considering the Winning factor, it is the potential of an individual as to how as a team they are playing together against another team. WINNING defines the criteria or the difference between the two teams on that particular day & location. It is rather more important to rely on the fact that one should play its own game and compete with its own the next time.

The Score to be precise is the measurement/quality which a player inputs into the game, and at the end, the well-deserved player is awarded based on this score.

Winning might not be important, but in order to improve oneself, the scores cannot be overlooked, in order to estimate oneself, scores are necessary, scores are necessary for self-assessment. Winning gains its essence from scores only! as in case of exams, one needn't be a first ranker, but if scores hadn't been there, would any one of us have taken the exams seriously?
