My mother is retired. Since retiring, she's become a Jesuspammer. Not the hateful stuff some people's relatives were sending them during the election season. Just feel-good God stuff. Today, she sent me a PowerPoint presentation with a bunch of interesting math things and a bit of code.

If you assign numerical values to the alphabet, with a=1, b=2, etc., then hardwork = 98%, and knowledge = 96%. So if you want to go beyond 100% in your work and life, hardwork and knowledge only get you close, not all the way. But love of God = 101%. Sounds like the winner.

But wait! Unrelenting hatred = 196%!* And lets be honest, if you're the kind of person who isn't satisfied with giving it 100%, the kind of person who wants to get 101% out of life, wouldn't you prefer to get 196%? Of course. So next time you're at work, in the gym, or any other place in life where you feel you need to go beyond 100% to accomplish your goals, unrelenting hatred is your co-pilot on the flight to success. 

My mother, tragically, failed to include this important bit of wisdom and I've been settling for less than all I could be. 

_{*Note: I did add up what unrelenting hatred would score, but I didn't write it down. So it might have been 182% or something like that. Your hatred may return different results. Hatred must be applied properly to achieve advertised results. Failure to hate (such as showing mercy or love) voids guarantee.}
