This was too awesome not to pass on! Thanks to pal Christine who emailed it to me!
“What equals 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 in situations where someone wants to give you over 100%. How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in your life?
Here’s a little mathematical question 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, look how far the love of God will take you
L- O- V- E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you
there, it’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!”
