What makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and,
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
and,
B-U-L-L-S-H-*-T is 21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
And, look how far ass kissing will take you:
A-S-S--K-I-S-S-I-N-G is 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While, hard work and knowledge will get you close, and, attitude will get you there, bullsh*t and ass kissing will put you over the top!!!!
