A Little Something To Think About When People Give 100%

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 is 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

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 II T is 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

so it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will get you close,

attitude will get you there, but bullshiit will put you over the top. And

look how far this will take you......

A S S K I S S I N G is 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

Think about it... and have a nice day at work!!

just a thought ?
