Attitude Might Not Be Everything But It Is 100 Percent

| Posted in Personal Development |

20

Attitude is one hundred percent I wanted to share the “Definition of Attitude” I came across the other day, because on one of the many blogs I read on a daily basis I read that attitude is not everything.

I was shocked, because to me, it absolutely IS everything. Having the right attitude is a key ingredient not only for building a successful network marketing business, but for anything else in life as well.

But may it be as it may be, even if it isn’t everything it is still 100%.

And I will prove it to you.

What makes up 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%. We always hear people say that they give more than a 100%. Heck, I’ve even said that myself on occasion. But, I will be a lot more careful about that in the future.

And here is why…

Let’s say 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 numbers:
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%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far a** kissing will take you.

A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, it is pretty safe to say with mathematical certainty, that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, Attitude is right on. But it’s the Bullshit and A** Kissing that twill put you over the top.

I have often wondered what it means when people say, “I give it a 110%. Or 120%”. Or whatever. How can you give more than the whole?? You can’t give more than there really is. Or can you?

Have you ever said anything like that? Have you ever wondered? What’s YOUR definition of attitude? Let us know in the comments below.

To Your Success,

P.S. As always, if you liked this post share it. Thanks!

Wow! I had seen this years ago, but had forgotten it. I think that when I initially read it though, I didn’t get the hidden meaning, the deeper truth.

Now…I got it, Ilka. Thanks for sharing and I will not be giving more than 100% because I present everything, including myself as true (as much as a human being can be in our current state). I do not want to exaggerate or puff up the facts about me, my business or products. The proof is in the pudding so to speak why would anyone need to make it bigger, better or something that it is not…unless…they are trying to cover something up.

As for me and my team…no thanks. We’ll stick to giving it 100% and not a % more!

Hi Carla,

Very well said! And I am totally with you in giving no more than 100% in the future.

Really makes you think though, doesn’t it?

Have a great weekend!

Great sense of humor Ilka.

But it certainly paints a good perspective by doing certain things what it means at the end of the day.

My favorite is the last one…

Have a great weekend,

Hi Jerome,

Thanks! Whatever the sum at the end of the day, that’s what counts. And attitude still IS everything… at least for me, lol.

You have an awesome weekend!

Hi Ilka,

That’s an interesting way to put it.

I think I’ll stick to 100% too!

I also still think your attitude affects your actions.

Have a great weekend!

This was really funny Ilka!

To be honest, I have said that before. Not in a long time though.

Now my favorite thing to tell people and myself every day is that you have to give everything you do a level 10 – 100% effort.

I think that is important because as humans it is impossible to always give 100% but, it is not impossible to give level 10 – 100% effort.

:-)

Have a blessed day!

Hi Melisa,

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I think we all said that at one time or another. And we all meant to give more than our best. But if you get right down to it, how is that even possible?

I like your approach too. And you’re right, we can’t always give 100%. But, we can give our best on any given day.

Have an awesome weekend!

haha Ilka,

Attitude is so important, not everything, but also not to be underestimated.

Thanks for the insightful laugh.

Good to be reminded of those numbers again Ilka and perhaps another reason why it’s true to say this business truly is a numbers game!

Enjoy your weekend!

Cheers
