Mathematics:
What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people<\/strong> 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?  <\/p>\n

Here##Q##s a little mathematical formula<\/strong> that might help<\/strong> 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.  <\/p>\n

Then: 
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =98% 
And  <\/p>\n

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =96%
But,  <\/p>\n

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 =100%
AND, look<\/strong> how far ass kissing will take you.  <\/p>\n

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%  <\/p>\n

So, one<\/strong> can conclude with mathematical certainty<\/strong>, that while Hard work 
and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, 
it##Q##s the Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people<\/strong> are where they are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
