Do the math

[Dogg]

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 each letter is given a value,
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 :
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.

And a total word is valued by its letters.... 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%

And
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 hardwork and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.


And look how far
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%
will take you.

bootlicking = 2 + 15 + 15 + 20 + 12 + 9 + 3 + 11 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 117%

 

Not quite as good as kissing your bosses ass. Unless your boss is kinky and prefers boot lickers.
