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%?
Here's a little mathematical formula! that might help you answer these
questions:
What makes up 100% in life?


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
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-H-I-T
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,
Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top


*As the old saying goes........IF YOU CAN'T DAZZLE THAN WITH BRILLIANCE.......BAFFLE THEM WITH BULLSHIT!*

Got that in email and had to pass it along.....TeeHee!

I love this, Lixy! It bugs me when someone (usually an athlete talking to a reporter) says gave 150%.

(I'm on my first cup of coffee so I'm not going to attempt to add anything up, though!)

:) I saw this on my gaming forums the other day. I loved this one that someone came up with:

Procrastination = 192% .....
