Okay, I received a very interesting email from a dear exBB friend Ellis.
Beauty of Math!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
101%
>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 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 in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
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.
If:
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%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did.
Have a nice day & God bless !!
That's the content of the email, what I'd like to ask all of you is....who decides if you've given your all?
Our hubbies/wives/kids/parents/boss? Whose opinion matters most?
Sometimes when I'm faced with a difficult colleague, I always ask myself...hey, dia ni tak sedar ke the kind of problems that he/she is putting me through? You know what, maybe they really tak sedar because as far as they are concerned, they have given their all, they believe that they have given 101%. So siapa yang bodoh, mereka dan keluarga mereka (famous line from Ringgit Kasorga) or me?

Hmm.
Every opinion matter at one point or another, my dear...
Sometimes some people think theirs matter more. Rightly or wrongly, we can never know eh?
Ebi,
You've got to make a choice...whose opinion matters most?
When you rile yourself up over what someone else did (tak kisah lah siapa orang tu), siapa yag bodoh?
ikshhh sapa yg bodoh ek?
I was asked in an interview once "How many percent of your time do you give to your administrative and academic duties?" My answer "100% to my academic duties and 100% to my administrative duties".
My ex-boss Tan Sri Salleh replied "You can't count Dr. Yang".
Btw, it was during my professorship interview.
Actually Kakak that is true..if you've given it your all while you were doing it, if your point of reference is time. There will always be only 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour. So if you've focused on something for an hour, you've given it 100%...of that hour.
Next time someone asks me that, my reply would be "Is this a trick question?"
