"From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:



What Makes 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 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 *** kissing will take you.



A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G



1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%



So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and *** kissing that will put you over the top!"

"A person cannot gain anything without giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost." -Fullmetal Alchemist



This is true in chemistry. I think that it can be applied to some degree with life in general. For example skill can be gained through work and experience. There are some things that don't work when trying to live by this, usually they involve trying to mess with the soul and attempting to play God.

I've got two quotes. First one is:



“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” -Anais Nin



Second One is:



"Don't waste your youth growing up."

Awareness Loves Life (A.L.L.)

Life Loves Awareness (L.L.A.)



also "Nothing is absolute. Everything is a matter of degree".



One answers the meaning of ALL (everything) both from the perspective of being human loving out to the absolute (LLA) and from the absolute looking at being human (ALL).

"In every season, there are blessings wearing different faces: enough joys to keep us thankful and enough troubles to keep us praying. If we didn't experience the scorching heat of summer, and the harsh cold of winter, we wouldn't appreciate the refreshing spring and autumn seasons." --Seasons, Bonnie Hopkins

If a person is truly great,then nothing has to ever be said because others will already know it. It is the failure who must constantly be reminded of their greatness.
