100%


Ever wonder 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.

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
are 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:
     K N O W L E D G E = 11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 +  5 +  4 +  7 + 5 =  96%
     H A R D   W O R K =  8 +  1 + 18 +  4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11     =  98%
     A T T I T U D E   =  1 + 20 + 20 +  9 + 20 + 21 +  4 +  5     = 100%
     B U L L   S H I T =  2 + 21 + 12 + 12 + 19 +  8 +  9 + 20     = 103%

So, it stands to reason that knowledge and hand work will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bull shit will put you over the top.
