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-_-_-\*  
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far brown nosing will take you.

B-R-O-W-N-N-O-S-I-N-G  
2+18+15+23+14+14+15+19+9+14+7 = 150%

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 Bulls\*\*\* and Brown Nosing that will put you over the top.
