Do you ever wonder about people who say they are giving more than 100% ?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103 %?
Here’s a little math that may prove helpful:
What makes life 100%?
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
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, Attitude will get you there, and
Bullshit will take you over the top.
But 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 the next time someone asks you to give more than
100%… you know what is required of you.

its not good enough because if your scale goes to 110%…then 100% is actually 91%

i hate when people rate their effort… just put forth worthwhile effort everytime, then you don’t have to justify the amount… lazy assholes.
