103%
 

I just received this in an e-mail today. I wish I could take credit for it.

Simple Math

lThis equation should be taught in all math classes!

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

lWhat Makes 100%?
l
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
l
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

lWe have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
l
How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions. If:

lA 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:
l1 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 It is obvious that
l
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K


l8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%


And
lK-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E


l11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But
lA-T-T-I-T-U-D-E


l1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

While
lB-U-L-L-S-H-_-T


l2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

Finally, and most effectively
l
A-$-$ K-I-S-S-I-N-G


l1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%

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 Bullsh_t and A$$ Kissing that will put you over the top!

Looks like the classic chain letter to me.

Perhaps. It was sent to me by another pilot. I thought it was funny nonetheless.
