We have all been to those meetings where some bright young ambitious manager wants more than 100% from us. Here is a little math that might prove helpful in the future.What makes 100 %? If each letter of the alphabet is represented by a number, so that A = 1 and Z = 26, then H A R D W O R K 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% only K N O W L E D G E 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% only
But,
A T T I T U D E 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100 %
However,
B U L L S H I T 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
It stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will get you close, but ATTITUDE and BULL$H1T will put you over the top!

Murrow He who sacrifices freedom for security is neither free nor secure" - Ben Franklin “I believe that freedom of speech should not be so abused by some that it is not exercised by others because of fear of smear. I believe we must not become a nation of mental mutes blindly following demagogues. I believe that we should never become mental mutes with our voices silenced because of fear of criticism of what we might say.” -— U.S. Sen.
