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%? What makes up 100% in life?
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 :
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. Then
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98%
and
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+*+#+T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20=103%
And , look how far A$$ KI$$ING will take you
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7= 118%

So,one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there,it"s the Bulls*#t and A$$KI$$ING that will put you over the top.
