We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100.
Here's a little math that might prove helpful in the future.
What makes life 100??
Well, if: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4 etc to Z = 26.
THEN:
H A R D W O R K (8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11) = 98 Only
K N O W L E D G E (11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5) = 96 Only
BUT:
A T T I T U D E (1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5) = 100

On a recent flight, an elderly passenger kept peering out the window.
Since it was totally dark, all she could see was the blinking wing-tip light.
Finally, she rang for the flight attendant.
"I'm sorry to bother you," she said, "but I think you should inform the pilot that his left-turn indicator is on and has been for some time."
The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.
"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the young guy replied.
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then he turned to the young man and said, "All right. Get in."
Sometimes we miss savoring a worthy moment because we are too busy trying to plan a perfect one.
