As a Civil Engineer Manager I love math and managing personnel, so I
find this exercise is very useful in assessing my employees productivity!
Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable
mathematical logic. This is 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%? 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%
K -N -O -W-L -E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
A-T -T -I -T -U -D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
B -U -L -L -S -*-$-@
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
look how far bellybutton 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 bulls@(& and bellybutton kissing that will put you over the top.
