Brilliant, isn't it? 

And look at this symmetry: 

1 x 1 = 1 
11 x 11 = 121 
111 x 111 = 12321 
1111 x 1111 = 1234321 
11111 x 11111 = 123454321

Now, take a look at this... 

101% 

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: 

What Equals 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 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 
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. 

If: 

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% 


THEN, 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!
