giving 100%

Ever wonder about those people who say that they are giving more than
100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to put in more than 100%. How about achieving 103%?
Here's 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:
HARDWORK H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%
KNOWLEDGE K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%
But, ATTITUDE A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
And, BULLSHIT 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 bullshit 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.
