  hot from my mailbox well...i'm hoping tis isn't true
  
  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, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top

  If I put in 110% effort today, it means I can expend 90% effort the following day and still get all the work done.

  If someone did 100% today and I did 0% but managed to convinced the boss that I was that "someone"; I can put in 0% of work and get 100%

  50%+50% = 100%
  
  shi ban gong bei, able to do work in half the time is the really true mark of giving 100%

  Of coz not. 100% effort is:
  
  - 150% effort during probation to get confirmation
  - 110% after probation to gain boss' trust and get that anniversary increment
  - 80% in 2nd yr and still achieve 100% result coz learning curve is much shorter and now you found someone to delegate the work
  - 50% to 70% in 3rd yr and still achieve 100% result coz u found more ppl to delegate the work to and managed to automate some job process.
