Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
Here's a little math that might prove helpful.
What makes life 100% ?
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%
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%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you here, but bulls#!t will put you over the top.



And look how far @ss-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%

 

That needs to be in a sales training manual!

 

 

LOL. Good one.

Of course, if you reverse the value of the letters, chances are that BS will get you less far than attitude or whatever. It could work either way.

 

Yeah, but if you reversed the values then mankind would have attached different meanings to the words so that Bullshit was still king
