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%
 AndK-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 Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top. | | | | |

In dreams I yearn to come to you
in a cricket's spirit.
In this endless autumn night
I'll spring into your darkened room,
wake you from your singular sleep,
and murmur of my longing.
Korean Sijo
by Pak Hyogwan
(1781 - 1880)
Note: Sijo is a modern term for a Korean style of lyrical poetry, originally called tanga (literally, "short song"). The sijo strongly resembles Japanese haiku in having a strong foundation in nature in a short profound structure. Bucolic, metaphysical and astronomical themes are often explored. The lines average 14-16 syllables, for a total of 44-46. There is a pause in the middle of each line, so in English they are sometimes printed in six lines instead of three. | | | |
