Thought I'd share this with you - just been sent to me and made me laugh on a Friday afternoon:
What makes 100%?
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%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ is represented as:
123456789101112 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%
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%
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=127%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it's the bullshit and asskissing that will put you over the top.
Well I certainly know a few '127%'ers ' where I work!, mainly male (funny that ). Enjoy !
