Subject: Giving 100%
Did you ever wonder about those people who say they give more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103% or even 127%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful.
What makes your effort 100%?
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
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%
K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%
But:
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
And:
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowlwdge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.
And look how far ass kissing will take you.
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 127%
