100%

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 ans wer 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 ******** and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

But we all knew that anyway

Re: 100%

I am a 1000% in agreement with you on that one.

Equally,

U-S-E-L-E-S-S-N-E-S-S

21+19+5+12+5+19+19+14+5+19+19 = 157%

Re: 100%

Giving more than 100% just had to be invented by football managers/players/pundits.

Re: 100%

when people say something is more than 100% it just makes the credibility of the whole 100% thing pointless.

If I said I gave 100% effort today it would seem I gave as much effort as possible. But then when someone goes I want 110% you could look at it as only 110%, where as you could have given 140% or so on.
