Musings of a Madman

Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 years experience.

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?

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint 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,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, 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 Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Take advantage of real-life money lessons today so that you and your children can reap the benefits in the future.

"In the past year, college savings plans may have had big losses, or a friend’s parents might have lost a job or a house," says USAA member Susan Beacham, founder and CEO of Money Savvy Generation. "Our kids are paying attention."

While they’re listening, start talking — and help them gain financial smarts.

1. Give them a plan. Ease your child into the world of self-sufficiency with a financial responsibility plan. "Decide what financial skills you’d like to turn over to your child at what age. Then train him ahead of time so he’ll be ready for each task," suggests Beacham.CEO of Money Savvy Generation. "Our kids are paying attention." …click to continue reading.

The field of behavioral finance examines the intersection between psychology and economic decision-making. In his fascinating recent book, Your Money and Your Brain, Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig examines a heretofore little-known aspect of behavioral finance: neuroeconomics, or how our brains respond in real-life financial situations. I recently sat down with Jason to discuss investor behavior and his tips for becoming a better investor. Continue Reading…

If I were to get a penny for every emotions that I have gone through with being a property owner and having renters, I would be a very very rich man. I know that I am not the only one in this, and there are many in my shoes, but no one feels my pains -

I know this will probably come off as being elitist, but who gives a crap.

1. Why the “bleep” do renters always believe that they should not have to pay their rent…huh?

2. Why the “bleep” do renters always break yo “bleep” and then come up with excuses why they shouldn’t have to replace it?
