Here’s some food for thought about the importance of positive habits of the mind and an interesting way to look at the beauty of mathematics…
What equals 100%?
What does it mean to give 100%?
How about achieving 100%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that was given to me that might help answer these questions, and as I said earlier, it also highlights the beauty and certainty of mathematics.
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 by
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 we follow that comparison then the word K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E could be represented and collated as 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 which would equal 96%.
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K could be represented and collated as 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 which would equal 98%.
But A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E would be 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 which equals 100%.
Therefore one could conclude with mathematical certainty that while HARDWORK and KNOWLEDGE will get you close, a great ATTITUDE will get you all the way there.
