Giving more than 100% - Mathematical explanation (Aug/08/2008 )

Hey guys,

have you ever heard from your boss or someone saying "you have to give more than 100%...bla bla bla...". well, here's the explanation!

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.

Finally somebody has define a law of nature we have alway known but could not express in absolute values. What does it take to get to the top?

Boooo... RESEARCH only gives 77% yet PROCRASTINATION gives you a whopping 186%!!!!! Damn, I knew I've been doing something wrong all of these years!

toejam,
You are destined for great things!!! Not only have you brought to us a great truth underlying the universe, but you have also appropriated someone else's comic work and not cited your source!!!
