What's 101% ?

Hey,
Got this from my friend, Diana. Let me share it with you..

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...

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.

Cool or what?! haha~

Ray

9th December 2009

I had been neglecting the beauty of nature these days, so much so of dissertation proposal. Well, it almost went the same for today. I was reading some journal articles in my room (as usual) until some sort of ray hit the edge of my eyes. Immediately, I looked out my window and guess what I saw.. *ta-da*

Image
Image

The sunset ray's really beautiful, isn't it? :) 

The beauty of nature. Indescribable. ~♥
which subsequently reminds me of God's love for us all - Indescribable yet beautiful. :)

Got my lights changed

8th December 2009


Hi ya!! I've finally got my dimmed yellow light changed after several request to the halls!! :D
ImageImage
From This (L) to this (R)..

Truth might be offending at times. Don't be.

5th December 2009


The worst moment for an atheist is when he feels grateful and has no one to thank. 
- Wendy Ward


Got this quote from Emmanuel's blog in which I find it really meaningful. The decision to believe that God doesn't exist, leads atheist to overburden themselves with unnecessary burdens, unnecessary failures... etc. When things turn out great, besides human, do they have anyone greater to thank, like God?


There's only one reason for you to reject the belief of God's existence - Lack of faith. "I've not seen it, and hence, I will not believe the existence." My dear friend, "why do you believe the existence of wind?"


This quote kinda' reminds me of a few friends. They place trust in themselves so much that they believe things are in their control  - The way how things turn out to be, the way things are supposed to be... Often always, unnecessary, when you have a better one to rely on, God.


My friend, you can't control life and death. Where are you heading to after death? Do you often worry about death? Well, I might offend you a lot, but I don't. 


I'll leave that thought to you.
