What Makes a !00%?
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%? What makes up 100% in life?

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 conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.


:hi:

3. Imagine what floccipaucinihilipilification could get you!
I don't feel like looking it up, but I think it's the act of estimating as worthless. Sort of fits. :D

4. How about
S-L-A-C-K-I-N-G
19+17+1+3+11+9+14+7=81%

So slacking off still gets you up to an acceptable meets level so you can just coast through life.
