Giving 100%

Giving 100%

What makes 100%? What does it mean to give more than a 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 more than 100%. How about achieving 103%?

Well, here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If the letters of the alphabet 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 were 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 would be:
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% however - -

B - U - L - L - S - H - I - T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

and, 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, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While, hard work and knowledge will get you close, and, attitude will get you there, it's Bullshit & Ass Kissing that will put you over the top!
