Just read this on email and thought I’d share… 😃

**Math Problem  
 This sounds about right:  
Ever wonder about those people who say  
they are giving more than 100% ?  
We have all been to those meetings where  
someone wants over 100%.  
How about achieving 103%?  
Here’s a little  
math that might prove helpful.  
What makes life 100% ?  
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%  
But,  
A T T I T U D E  
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%  
And,  
B U L L \* \* \* \*  
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%  
So, it stands to reason that hard work and  
knowledge will get you close,  
attitude will get you there,  
but bull** will put you over the top.  
And look how far \*\*\* kissing will take you.

1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7= 127 %  
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
