What Makes 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? What does it mean to give 110%? What about achieving 103%? Isn't that enough?

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%. And
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E (1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5) = 100%.
But B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T (2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20) = 103% and
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.
