The Secret Ingredient… Attitude

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants "more than 100%." Well, here's how you do that. Here's how you can achieve 100%. First of all, here's a little math that might prove helpful in the future. How does one achieve 100% in LIFE?

Begin by noting the following.

IF : A = 1; B = 2; C = 3; D = 4; E = 5; F = 6; G = 7; H = 8; I = 9; J = 10; K = 11; L = 12; M = 13; N = 14; O = 15; P = 16; Q = 17; R = 18; S = 19; T = 20; U = 21; V = 22; W = 23=; X = 24; Y = 25 and Z = 26.

Then:

H A R D W O R K =

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = Only 98%

Similarly,

K N O W L E D G E =

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = Only 96%

But interesting (and as you'd expect),

A T T I T U D E =

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%..... This is how you achieve 100% in LIFE.

Have a nice day unless you have chosen otherwise!

CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY:
