Giving 100%

[Eric]

Just got this from a friend:

Ever wonder about 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 is 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, and Bull**** will take 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 ask you to give more than 100%, you know what is required of you.

Now I know why I am not succeeding,

I did not give more than 100%

This should be posted in every company break room :D

Wouldn't that actually mean that
A = 1 = 100%
Wow,
then bull**** and asskissing gets you real far...
Remember to multiply by a hundred,
it's the bull**** way... :)
