From 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 Hardwork and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bull**** and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Have a good weekend everyone. :)

Uhh, dude you have too much time on your hands. On another note, giving 100% is pushing through the pain as hard as you can. Or going as hard and fast as you can go.

hmm ok then we could use the same formula to discover what giving 100% gives you in return.

P-R-O-M-O-T-I-O-N= 135%
wow prospects are good now does that mean that comes with a raise?

R-A-I-S-E= 52%
hmmm prospects aren't so good.... :(

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N= 85%
B-E-N-E-F-I-T-S= 80%
well that's better chances are you'll probably need em since it appears that percentage increases for being....

O-V-E-R-W-O-R-K-E-D= 136%
U-N-D-E-R-P-A-I-D= 92%

but don't worry chances are you'll get a repreive when your job get's
O-U-T-S-O-U-R-C-E-D= 141%
