Now, take a look at this... 101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 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 in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help 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
Thus:
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%
And: A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

I love the tree representation! I'm absolutely fascinated with the mystery of numbers. Through grad school I used to read a lot of Feynman, Ramanujam etc. and wish I were like them - to be able to comprehend the beauty of math so deeply. Now I'm more resigned to enjoying what I can ... :)
Math has never been anything I've gotten excited about, and I've never been able to comprehend those who did.
However, this is great! I have to admire whoever came up with it!!
I like numbers but I don't always understand them. I like them because they will always add up, but I don't understand them because I can't always make them do that. If that makes any sense! I never have seen the tree before..that is amazing. Thanks.
I love math...it is the only logical subject. This is very interesting with the tree. I haven't seen that before. I have seen how to give 100% before but the version I've seen is not encouraging behavior.
MEB, I copied this and put on a word document to share with others. I hope you don't mind.
I just showed it to my son. His reply, "Stupid math". He is one who doesn't get math. My other son is in college to become an accountant...
Wow, that's really cool. Thanks MEB. That makes math almost interesting, LOL.
bindu...I, too, am fascinated with numbers. I didn't get into Ramanujan, but know he was a math genius and was in to the analytical theory of numbers.
I enjoyed the fact that the piece I found this in titled it The Beauty of Mathematics. Most people would never seen the beauty in numbers...but I love it.
WOW -- If I had math teachers that came up with thse kind of lessons...
