Getting ahead mathematically

[LarryNJ]

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

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.

Hahahahaha

So thats what my boss means when he says i want 118% percent out of you today!

[JediKnight]

And when a Coach asks you for 110%.....(as many of them do)....be very careful...............(I'll tell you the answer later........it came to me after 4 bottles of dodgy Aussie wine in an Indian restaurant in Shanghai!!!).

Hahaha great thread Larry!

That's why you get paid the big bucks Matt.

Larry that's fantastic! Love it.

[joblot]

Very well thought out. I like it.

[Skiza]

Good one Larry! Made me and the parentals laugh a bit, making our own words up

Tsk tsk - dodgy Aussie wine? Better get them to stock Barwick's...!

[littleleck]

Thats brilliant Larry. I certainly know my response next time my coach tells me to give
110%!

[Darren]

I never aim that high - 50% is all it takes to pass....

[travelling_gerry]

never try to be average...the number of legs per person in australia is less than 2

[Darren]

50% isn't average, it's just halfway ...
