Have you ever wondered 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: Alphabetical letters are represented by
their numerical sequence:
AB C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
T U V W X Y Z
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then,
H A R D W O R K
11 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, but bullshit
will put you over the top.
