Mathematics: 
This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. 
It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly .....  mathematical viewpoint.. and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to giveMORE 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 kissingwill 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 andKnowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. 
Its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top. 
Now you know why some people are where they are!
