    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.

    H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
    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%

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

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

    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 and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the BullshiT and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

    150% of 100 litres of beer is 150 litres of beer. That's a lot of beer!

    obviously giving 110% is illogical

    what is even more annoying is the irreconcilable paradox
    between giving 110% and always leave them wanting more

    by comparison, to accomplish everything by doing nothing
    makes perfect sense

    (though i believe the origeonal intent of wu wei or however
    it is spelled, is that the greatest good is to avoid
    causing harm)
