Topic I hit on a while ago whereby one gives a numerical value to a letter.
Here's one for you lot!
Subject: 100%?
How appropriate is this........
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 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, and bullsh*it will put you over the top. But, 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 the next time someone asks you to give more than 100%, you know what is required of you.
