How hard do you work?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where some manager wants over 100%... 

How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful. 

What makes life 100%? 

If each letter of the alphabet were represented by numbers: 

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 

equals 

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 there, and "bullshit" will put you over the top. 

But, 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%
