      The Beauty of Maths!

      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=123456789 87654321

      Now, take a look at this...

      >From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

      What is 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 MORE THAN
      100%.

      How do we ACHIEVE 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.

      Then

      H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K


      is

      8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

      And

      K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
      is
      11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

      And

      A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

      is

      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

      is

      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!

      The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
