Lesson for the day: Giving 103%
Thursday, August 12, 2004
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants 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,
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.S. = 103%
SO, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but B.S. will put you over the top
