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 = 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 S 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 bullshit will put you over the top.

So, the next time someone claims to be giving over 100%, you know what he
is doing.

And if your boss demands more than 100%, then let him have it.
