Is giving more than 100% worth it?

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%?

What makes life 100%?

Here's a little math that might prove helpful.

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V WX Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1718 1920 21 22 23 24 2526.

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%

So, it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will get you close,
attitude will get you there,
but bullshit will put you over the top.

And look how far

A R S E K I S S I N G
1 18 19 5 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 121%
will take you.
