This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it 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?

Here's 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's
the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Mathematics of Money, Knowledge and Power
(Why Ignorance Rises With the Executive Level)
Here is a simple explanation that is also a mathematical proof.

Variables are Knowledge, Power and Money. First, the givens:

Knowledge is Power.
Time is Money.
And, as every engineer knows: Power = Work/Time

By simple substitution we get:

Knowledge = Work/Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, the science of mathematics proves that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches zero, regardless of the value of Work.

This effectively proves that the less you know, the more you make.
