Glad I was a math major in college

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:-

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%?
What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these question.
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 K8+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 E1+20+20++9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And:B U L L S H I T2+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 G1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 =118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that whilst 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.
