Although I don't have a passion for Maths, this email from a friend was stunning enough to make me sit up and take notice. I thought I'd share it. I'd love to see what you others think of this.
What equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
We've all been in situations where someone wants us to give over 100%
What equals 100% in life anyway?
This little Math formula 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
then H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is
8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 which equals 98%
and K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 which equals 96%
But A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 which equals 100%
Then look how far the love of God will take you.
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D is
12 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 15 + 6 + 7 + 15 + 4 which equals 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!
Pretty cool, don't you think?
Yes, this is cool! This is clever. But not surprising - God did, afterall, create numbers and math!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all feeling a lot better now. Chad has been a lazy bum lately, his letter to Logan is nearly finished but he still wants to add to it. That boy! Sorry it is taking so long. I am becoming the nagging Mom I never wanted to be - oh, well!
We will be celebrating the 4th of July at the end of the week - it's seems odd that a holiday that takes over much of our country is just another day to the rest of the world. Just as well. Not many people really celebrate it for the real meaning. We try to incorporate learning into that holiday, so our kids will celebrate it for the right reasons.
Take care and have a great weekend!
Kate
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI also just learned I can't add. :o) When I added hard work up I kept getting 88.
It is a cute little formula! Thanks for sharing it.
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
I love that! I may have to put it up on the wall.
