These days, selling your house requires 100%… (“Of what?”, you ask ). Ever wonder what it means when someone tells you they are going to give more than 100% ? … Ever been asked to give 103% ? … Ever think 98% ought to be MORE than sufficient? From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, here is a formula that may help to clarify: 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 by:
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 = 98% (8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11)
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 96% (11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5)
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 100% (1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5)
If you have a spare moment, test your math skills. It’s worth a chuckle: B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ = 103% . Something to do with kissing totals 118% . You can toy with others … on your own… if you have the time … or the computer savvy. Someone creative obviously had a bit of extra time on their hands… or a brilliant mind !
Truly, who among us didn’t grow up hearing that hard work equated to success… that knowledge was worth it’s weight in gold… and that attitude counted for everything? (Thanks to our brilliant “Techie” … for the smiles… and the mathematical formula for “fun”!)
