   more than 100%?

   

   

   
I am sure you have all been asked at sometime to give over 100% on a particular project which must
be completed and invoiced yesterday.
 
How does 103% sound?
Use creative arithmetic ...
 
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.
 
  
So:
  

KNOWLEDGE ...

                                                                             = 96%

So, knowledge and hard work will get you close, attitude will get you to maximum output, but ...
   to appear to give more than 100%, you will need creative arithmetic (ask an accountant!!)
