Sick of the 110%-ers?

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 answer 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, itтАЩs the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!

The world is constantly trying to do things faster, get to places faster...but if at the end you just die making everything before irrelevant, wouldn't it make sense for us a species to spend more effort on trying to go slower instead?

Yes indeed, much better that we don't try to heal the sick or invent labour-saving devices. Much better that the poor native washerwoman we hire dies before she's a burden on society

Why do we invent labour-saving devices and then turn around and invent exercise equipment?

Why do we invent labour-saving devices and then turn around and invent exercise equipment? To make middle-class wankers feel superior - like being a vegetarian: it delivers that have-to-have burst of moral superiority
