O/T - Getting ahead

Got this from a co-worker and had to share it...

MORE than 100%? Simple Math...

>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint 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%?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions: What makes up 100% in life?

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 to be
the
numerical equivalent of:
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%


Then 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 then conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard work and knowledge will get you close, And, Attitude will get
you there, Bull**** and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

This has been floating around the hotel for about a month now...


You'd be surprised to see how many people are giving 103% all the time!!!

I've been reminded of that daily recently...

Tends to be more asskissing at my job than bull****. Seems that's what must be done to get anywhere here. I'm keeping my nose clean.
