For those of us who have had the privilege to serve in local government, we can remember being approached by a community resident or local taxpayers {who never ran for public office - and who could never get elected to a local government office even if they tried} who demanded that every public employee and all local government officials give more than a 100% effort.
Can someone? Anyone? Who is serving in a local government public office really give more than a 100% effort???
Let's look at this question logically - say from a mathematical perspective. It seems a professor at MIT recently devised a numeric formula that might help us understand what giving a 100% effort actually means for a local public official.
Now, it's somewhat complicated but try to follow this reasoning - personally I think it's true but then again I could be wrong.
Now 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
Are 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
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = Would equal 98%
And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = Would equal 96%
As we can see Hard Work and Knowledge will get most local government officials really close to a 100% effort.
But this I found amazing -
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = Gets us to 100%. A positive serving Attitude is the only thing that gets local government officials to a 100% effort.
Now 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
Are 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
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = Would equal 98%
And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = Would equal 96%
As we can see Hard Work and Knowledge will get most local government officials really close to a 100% effort.
But this I found amazing -
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = Gets us to 100%. A positive serving Attitude is the only thing that gets local government officials to a 100% effort.
So is it impossible for a local government official to give more than a 100% effort??
Look at this -
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = Equals 103%.
and this blew me away -
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = Equals 103%.
and this blew me away -
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = Will get a local government official all the way to 118%.
So, based on this formula, most of us can safely conclude with mathematical certainty that Bullshit and Ass Kissing will make it appear to many people in a community that some of their public officials are giving them more than a 100% effort.
