Giving 100%

Post by X5Sport » Wed Mar 05, 2014 5:41 pm

As someone who until very recently had regularly been told that as a Team Manager I had to make sure my team 'did more with less', I came across this formula which has proved both enlightening and useful for dealing with those more senior managers I used to work with.....

Can you give more than 100%
GIVING MORE THAN 100%??

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. 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, It's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
