Moving to a higher place of praise!

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 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%

 Now, 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, and “Attitude” will get you there, it's the "Love of God" that will put you over the top!
