Theorem

I think we all remember the kid in math class who would challenge the teacher with the question “when will I ever use this (algebra/geometry/calculus, etc.) in real life?” I remember that challenge continuing through college math courses and wonder where the kid, turned teen, turned adult wound up.

I think I have a theory.

A friend shared the following with me and I feel compelled to pass it along. Here, my friends, at long last, is the application to REAL life:


This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
Indisputable mathematical logic… a strictly mathematical viewpoint... that 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?

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%

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%

And

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass 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 is the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.



Class dismissed…
