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%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
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%
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%
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 = 118%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, bullcrap and Ass Kissing will put you over the top!

don't forget the corner office with floor to ceiling windows...oh oh oh...and an assisant.... :D
That's worth being named CEO of the company and making a nice, big, juicy executive salary, plus all the perks that go along with being CEO!!!!
At 235% that must be worth a raise don't you think.

19+12+5+5+16+9+14+7 + 23+9+20+8 + 20+8+5 + 2+15+19+19 = 235% :eek:
I wondr how much sleeping with the boss is? only kidding. :p
Assuming the boss can tell the difference between asskissing and knowledge.
That will hold true but for only a short while and then knowledge and attitude will take over.
