Still Stuck on Stupid

Lt. Gen. Russel HonoreAwhile back I wrote a post entitled Don?t Get Stuck on Stupid about Lt. General Russel Honore who’s been put in charge of the rebuilding efforts taking place in New Orleans. Officially, he’s Commander of Joint Task Force Katrina.
Fox News has a follow-up interview (“Katrina Hero”) with the same “John Wayne” of Katrina, Lt. Gen. Russel Honore. He’s still impressive with his grasp on the situation in New Orleans and what needs to happen for things to continue to improve. He also discusses why it’s taking so long for things to occur, and how the media who he says got it wrong during Katrina, could also be getting it wrong again.

As the video for Fox is titled “Katrina Hero”, this guy is one of my new most favorite people. Just look at that guy! This guy embodies the impression of “I’m in charge!”. I say get out of his way, help him when he asks for it and let’s keep moving forward.

The Power of Math

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 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, 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!
