What Makes 100%?

 

What does it mean to give MORE than 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%?

 

What makes up 100% in life?

 

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 = 118%

 

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and

Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the

Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

reminds of this: on the last buddhist workshop I attended, the teacher was talking about basic ideas of buddhism in the tea break and said: the first thing you have to learn when you start to learn buddhist philosophy is the word BULLSHIT! That's some approach!

.. . the first thing you have to learn when you start to learn buddhist philosophy is the word BULLSHIT! That's some approach!

A nice bit of of levity and healthy irreverence is always in order when wading through this abstruse stuff!

What a generous bloke! Loved the mp3s - will have to clog the wife's iPod with some of these. There's some more of his stuff here as well:
