Giving more than 100%

What makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about these people who say they are
giving more than 100%?
We have all been to these meetings where
someone wants you to give over 100%
How about achieving 103%? or 118%?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
you answer these questions.

IF:

A B C D E F G H I ..... X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ..... 24 25 26

Then:

S K I L L S

19+11+9+12+12+19 = 82%

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%

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 skills, 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.

As the old adage goes... a bureaucratic corporation is very much like a septic tank, the bigger the CHUNKS, the easier it floats to the top.
