Are you giving 100%?

[Sarah Beth]

Don't just love it when someone says they are giving 110%. You hear this a lot but it how do at what percentage someone is really performing.

How can we determine wo is giving what percentage of effort?

Well let's put it this was 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%

While:
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%

Look how far backside 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, its the Bullshit and backside kissing that will put you over the top.

Then for the big one. If you are
C-R-O-S-S-D-R-E-S-S-I-N-G That is 169% So I guess we are all giving it way more that 100%
