Ever wonder about those 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 is one answer. A little bit of maths that might prove helpful. What makes life 100%?
If the alphabet was represented thus...
| 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 | | 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% |
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top. |
