The Beauty of Maths

[Forrest]

From a mathematical viewpoint, what equals 100%?
What does it mean to give 100%?
How about achieving 100%?
What equals 100% in life?

If the alphabet is represented as numbers as follows:

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

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%

ONE COULD CONCLUDE WITH MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY

THAT

WHILE HARD WORK AND KNOWLEDGE WILL GET YOU CLOSE

ATTITUDE WILL GET YOU THERE


HOWEVER, CONSIDER

B U L L S H I T

2 + 21 + 12 + 12 + 19 + 8 + 9 + 20 = 103%

SO HARDWORK AND KNOWLEDGE WILL GET YOU CLOSE,
ATTITUDE WILL GET YOU THERE
AND BULLSHIT WILL TAKE YOU OVER THE TOP

BUT LOOK HOW FAR A S S L I C K I N G WILL TAKE YOU

1 + 19 + 19 + 11 + 9 + 19 + 19 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 118%


SO THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO GIVE MORE THAN 100%
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHATS REQUIRED
