| What's needed to get ahead in life?
|
|
|
You may have seen this before, it's paraphrased from a very old email that I had a printout of.
We've all heard it before - you need to give more then 100% to get ahead in life!
Well what makes 100%? What does it mean to give more then 100%? How about 103%?
Well mathematically it looks like this:
If the alphabet
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
was assigned the values
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:
hardwork doesn't get you there:
H A R D W O R K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
Neither does knowledge:
K N O W L E D G E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
but attitude, now that's a different story:
A T T I T U D E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
BUT bullshit:
B U L L S H I T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
Howz about that?
And even more interesting:
A S S K I S S I N G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+14+7 = 118%
So that's the mathematical proof that even though hard work and knowledge bring you close, and attitude get's you there only bullshit and asskissing puts you over the top!
