I got this in my mail today :
Mathematics:
This comes from 2 maths 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-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, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!

Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down

they come out very soft

LOL...I'm pushing this forward to some friends who I know will appreciate it. This from an underachiever...or is that 103% statement? (He...he)

hahaha you wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked to give 110%, 120% even 200%...
It doesn't matter how many times you make the impossible happen or save someone's ass. Even if you could give 110%, people would downgrade the same result to 90% the next time you've got to do the same thing.
In other words, when you're at work, any results of your labour will only be rated excellent once. After that, they become the expected result.
