Ever wonder about those people in meetings who say they are giving more than 100%?

And we have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%.

How about achieving 103%? Here is a little math that might prove helpful. 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 is
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, and attitude will get you there but Bullshit will put you over the top.

And if you didn't already know it, 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% !!!!!!!!!!

I hope this helps explain where you went wrong in your career.
