Give more than 100% !
 

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 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, it's the bull**** and ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Hard work pays off over time. Procrastination pays off right now!

The story of my life.

I always try to give it the full 70%.

John Wooden always said to his teams, don't give me more than 100%, because if you try for 110% you will only give me 90%.

This is one of the only things I remember when he coached my team one summer. It was only at his basketball camp, but was still pretty cool.

That somehow seems wrong being in the 1st reply. That should be at least a couple down from the top.

I came in late one morning and reminded my boss the early worm gets eaten by the bird. I don't think he bought it.

And the second mouse gets the cheese.
