Question

Is there anything else important than winning a contest?

Answer 1

Answer:

Participation is more important than just winning. If you will keep on participating in different events then surely one day you will get the result of your hard work. It does not matter that you win or lose, all that matters is the courage to participate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Participating is more important because it gives you the experience and, thus, will make you prepared for more of the same situation in your life. The experience you have gained throughout the process is SOMETIMES more valuable than the outcome itself.
