Something to Think About

Just a little something to tickle your funny bone. Something we've all seen in this business.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We’ve all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%?

Here’s a little math that might prove useful.

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 by:
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%

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 $ 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, but bull$hit 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.


George, I hope this is not too offensive.
