Can you REALLY give more than 100 percent?

I stole this from an email that was sent to me this morning but I cleaned it up.   It brings up a good point.  Can you really give more than 100%

No, I don't believe it is always true, but it does answer the question about some businesses.

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience.
It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this: 
What Makes 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 to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you 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. 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, 
H-O-R-S-E-H-O-C-K-E-Y
8+15+18+19+5+8+15+3+11+5+25 = 132% 
AND, look how far brown nosing will take you. 
B-R-O-W-N-N-O-S-I-N-G 
2+18+15+23+14+14+15+19+9+14+7 = 150% 
 
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and
Attitude will get you there, its the
Horse Hockey and Brown Nosing that will put you over the top.

Now I know why some people are where they are.
