How to give more than 100% at work

[earthquake68]

I stole this from my Nova site, but it is funny!

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
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-*-*-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far *** kissing will take you!

A-*-*-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:
Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there;
its the Bull**** and *** Kissing that will put you over the top.



Now you know why some people are where they are!

That's a good one !

[Bowtie-Bri]

That's a good one Alan! I hope you don't mind that I copied and pasted it to another forum. I felt the need to spread the word.

[Ms Grumpy]

I feel the need to share also. Hope you don't mind.

[earthquake68]

Oh, that's ok. I copied it from a guy on my Nova forum!

[flash]

That was good ,I can do the bullshitting part but the a$$ kissing part has never been my thing.
