Giving 100% is all about attitude

I love this analogy.... and there's some truth in it too!

What does it take to give 100%?

What does it mean to give more than a 100%? Even 103%?


Well, here's a little mathematical formula to help 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 A-S-S--K-I-S-S-I-N-G will take you
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, it’s attitude that will produce 100%

And all those people who say they are giving more that 100% ? They just might be full of @#$%^&*()!
