A lady came to a famous poet and handed him a piece of paper, explaining, "The Lord has given me this poem."
The poet scanned the appalling doggerel she had written, then wadded it up and threw it into the trash with the reply,

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
