This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 years experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint, and 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 Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!

Oh boy does that make sense. That answers a lot of questions….lol
Hope you're enjoying the boat.
It sure did answer a lot of questions. 🙂
This is a great post, Sandee. Ha ha..now I understand! This makes great ice-breaker item! Lol!
It explains so much doesn't it. 🙂
I've seen it more times than I can count. =))
Me too Rosey, me too. 🙂
Thank you for the logical explanation!
You're most welcome. 🙂
Makes a lot of sense to me. Making Love is 109% .Fantastic. I guess I'm pretty smart. ha,ha,ha.
Have a very intelligent Saturday Sandee & Zane. See ya.
Cruisin Paul
You've always been very smart Paul. 🙂
hahahah! But what does prevarication add up to? Cheers and hugs!
I don't know. Good question though. 🙂
The Secret of Life explained in numbers. Thanks.
Yes indeed Jan. 🙂
Excellent, i'm forwarding this to my kids.
Forward away Joe. 🙂
I think I will stick with being an underachiever.
I'm with you. 🙂
Brilliant and so glad it was explained LOL I am totally useless ;-(
Have a mathmaticaltastic day Sandee 😎
I'm totally useless too Steve. 🙂
I'm with you 128%.
Even better. 🙂
Not only ass-kissing, but having a great ass will get you over the top. If it takes a hen and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half; then how long does it take a rooster to lay a doorknob?
Yep, I've seen that work too. 🙂
I'm a firm believer in attitude because it's flexible
I agree Skip. 🙂
Whoa!!! That's a lot of math. I agree, though. Attitude is everything. And, having worked in an office, butt kissing does seem to be what success is all about there.
It sure does doesn't it. I watched it for years. 🙂
By the letters, it adds up 😉
It does indeed Mike. 🙂
Makes sense to me! Happy weekend boating!
We're having a great boating weekend. 🙂
Perfect logic. Although clearly someone has too much time on their hands.
Way too much time on their hands. 🙂
Works for me!
We've known every one of these kinds of people. 🙂
Lesson learned: Don't trust the people who say they are giving more than a 100%
I don't either. I'm guessing you feel the same. 🙂
complex maths equation but easy to comply with.
I agree. It was complex equations and I'd love to meet the person that came up with these. 🙂
This truly gives us the meaning of life. Thank you oh Guru! This will save us a trip to the mountain top!
It really does. You're most welcome. 🙂
The secrets of life revealed…. Good thing I am not too good at the last two behaviors 🙂
Yes indeed Jen. We know some of these people. 🙂
Those math minds had healthy senses of humor.
They sure do. I laughed out loud. 🙂
It adds up in all the wrong places.
It does indeed Binky. 🙂
