I know the following was taken from an email but it is quite true in most situations:
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE that 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these Questions:
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%
and,
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%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G = 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass Kissing will put you over the top.
