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%? How about achieving 103%? From a strictly mathematical view point it goes like this: 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-*-*-*-T 2+21+12+19+8+9+20= 103% Then there are the over achievers: 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................................. .....................one of those days.
