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.

If anyone ever actually DID manage to give something 100%, we would have to bury the poor sod since they used everything...thus discontinuing the life processes.

Well, I seriously think all you can expect is someone's best. And their best might not be the same in every situation.

Lol! I'll remember that when I get a job, and don't plan to keep it long.
Someone's best is never going to be the same in every situation. If you're doing something different and new to them, the results are going to vary. (obviously right??) Even if it is something they rule at, they might not be as motivated to do their best as the were the first time. Sorry just taking psychology.

Cool, you do psychology? Me too [img]smile.gif[/img] . How long have you been doing it for? Are you doing it like as a major or just a fill-in? What areas are you interested in?
