Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How
about achieving 103%?
Here's a little math that might prove helpful. What makes life
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 knowledge will get you
close, attitude will get you there, and bullshit will put you over the
top. But, 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 = 118%
So the next time someone asks you to give more than 100%, you know
what is required of you.
