We’ve all been to meetings where someone’s asked for more than 100 percent. And haven’t you ever wondered about those in attendance who claim they’re already giving more than 100 percent? How is that even possible?

Well, it apparently can be done! Here’s the formula for certain success in over achievement:

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,

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%

and

A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

But

B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

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

And just look how far

A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

will take you!
