What will put you over the top?

Les Carpenter passes along a math problem he received in his inbox at Rational Nation USA.

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.
