Mumf note: Happy Labor Day! So as to not tax you too hard
with the chore of reading these -- or tax me for laboring
too hard to get these out to you -- I have one appropriate
insight for the day; read it, then go out and play!)
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more
than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone
wants over 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:
H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 =3D 98%
K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 =3D 96%
but...
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 =3D 100%
and...
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 =3D 103%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will
get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit
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 =3D 118%
will take you!
