Giving 110%
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more
than 100%? We've 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, respectively -
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, but bullshit will put
you over the top.
And look how far A S S-K I S S I N G - (1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7)
= 118% will take you.
