Here's a little math that might prove helpful. What makes 100%? 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%

K N O W L E D G E = 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%

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%


So it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

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%

Never thought about it like that before, huh??
