The Beauty of Mathematics and the Secreet of Success.


From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What equals 100%?
What does it mean to give more than 100% ?
How about achieving 101%?
How can you achieve 101% ?
What equals 100% in Life?
Here is a little mathematical calculation that might help answer these questions:
· Given 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.

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,
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4=101%

Given the above mathematical calculation, with hard work you can be close to your Promised land. Manna doesn’t just fall from heaven likewise water did not just gush out from the rock; it is with hard work that these things came to pass.
Remember also the Israelites; it is with hard work that they were able to get to the cannan land.

Another thing that compliment hardwork is Knowledge, as you can see from our mathematical calculation and to buttress the importance of Knowledge, remember King Solomon, who only asked for Wisdom from God. If many of us were given the opportunity ,I bet that 98% will ask for money forgetting that without the knowledge or wisdom to spend that money, it is as good as gone.
So many people have wasted resources they have laboured for because their hard work have not been complimented Knowledge.

On the other hand, Attitude is really paramount to succeed in life. Have you been working hard without anyone noticing your input? Have you been praying without any answers? Are you a Leader who is not appreciated or accepted? Are you working without fulfillment? If any of these is happening to you, then you did better check your Attitude.
Every day you choose the clothes you wear, the food you eat and the attitude you adopt, our daily attitude is that ingredient, the much needed catalyst that will propel our potentials to a point of admiration.
I urge you to adopt an attitude like that of the Psalmist in the Bible in psalm 118:24 :”This is the day the lord has made: we will rejoice and be glad in it”.

Speaking also on Attitude,Ground Zero is a space where the Twin Towers once stood in New York.Three thousand People died there, and how did New Yorkers respond?
A sign at the edge of Ground Zero Proclaims, “The human spirit is not measured by the size of the act but by the size of the heart.” That is an attitude terrorists will never Conquer.

Lastly, it is only with God’s love that we can get to the promised land. In our mathematical calculation, it is only God’s love that is 101%,with his love you can record 101% success, with his love you can have 101% blessings and unmerited favour.
Remember the popular bible verse that says “For God so loved the world that he gave his begotten son, that whosoever believe in him shall have everlasting life”.
This is to show the extent of God’s love to mankind.
Without his love, mankind won’t have the required strength for hard work, knowledge and attitude which is needed for Success in life.
In as much as God’s love is Omni-Present, it is not everybody that has it.

How can God’s love be acquired ?

You can acquire God’s love by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, it is through him that all will be saved.
Also God’s love can be given unconditionally to those who choose to love ,give , forgive and render help unconditionally.
Conclusively, 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! Have a nice week and see you at the TOP!
