One Hundred Percent

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. 

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%   

Therefore,
One can conclude with mathematical certainty,  
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, 
Attitude  will get you there. 
It’s the Bull and Ass-Kissing 
That will put you over the  top.   

Now you  know why Politicians are where they  are!
