MATH PROBLEM
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.
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.
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 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 %
C O N N E C T I O N S
3 15 14 14 5 3 20 9 14 19 = 116%
As if we didn't know.
H_O_N_E_S__T_Y
8 15 14 5 19 20 25 = 106%
for a non-sycophant with no connections, honesty is the best policy.
B-E-S-T-I-A-L-I-T-Y
2-5-19-20-9-1-12-9-20-25 = 122%
Conniving
3 15 14 14 9 23 9 14 7 = 108%
Does Julie Linderman really really want her phone number posted here?
But rumor has it you can have a really good time.
