  • 100%??

    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.

      Yeah, the phrease "giving 110%" or any derivation thereof is definitely one of my pet peeves.

      Also, when people misuse "literally," as in "he literally cut my heart out" or "I literally had hypothermia." C'mon!
