\"question<\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thoughts
\n<\/strong>Always remember you’re unique, just like everyone else.<\/p>\n

When you’re finally holding all the cards, why does everyone else decide to play chess?<\/p>\n

Notice for a Science Lab Door (and a few others): Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.<\/p>\n

Never tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.<\/p>\n

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand<\/p>\n

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Quotes
\n<\/strong>\u201cThe definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting a different outcome.\u201d – Albert Einstein<\/em><\/p>\n

“How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you’re on.” – Zall’s Second Law<\/em><\/p>\n

“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he gets to know something.” – Wilson Mizner<\/em><\/p>\n

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” – Confucius<\/em><\/p>\n

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy<\/em><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Thoughts
\n<\/strong>Don’t blame me. I’m only doing what my Rice Crispies told me to do.<\/p>\n

The probability of someone watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your action.<\/p>\n

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the fire department generally uses water.<\/p>\n

Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.<\/p>\n

Whoever said nothing was impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.<\/p>\n

To achieve the impossible, one must think the absurd; to look where everyone else has looked, but to see what no one else has seen.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Quotes
\n<\/strong>“Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope.” – Arnold Glasow<\/em><\/p>\n

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” – Judy Garland<\/em><\/p>\n

“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.” ~ Winston Churchill<\/em><\/p>\n

“Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings.” ~ Miles Franklin<\/em><\/p>\n

“Hardware: the parts of a computer that can be kicked.” – Jeff Pesis Kennedy<\/em><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

AND FINALLY…..
\n<\/strong>SHOULD YOU GIVE MORE OR LESS THAN 100% ?????<\/p>\n

A mathematical formula here, puts you in the know:
\nWe know that some people say:
\nI demand, or I give 100 and ‘something’ per cent… Well here you can prove it is possible to obtain the… ‘Over’ 100% (can you beat 118?)<\/p>\n

How can this be?
\nWe chatted to some random maths prof and came up with this formulae:<\/p>\n

If:
\nA 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
\nis represented as:
\n1 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<\/p>\n

We discovered this:<\/p>\n

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
\n8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
\n11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%<\/p>\n

but,<\/p>\n

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
\n1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%<\/p>\n

then the over-scores are revealed as,<\/p>\n

B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T
\n2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%<\/p>\n

and observe how far over, a**-kissing will take you.<\/p>\n

A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
\n1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%<\/p>\n
