39. A SMALL TRUTH TO MAKE LIFE 100%

41. Hard work H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%Knowledge K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

42. Love L+O+V+E 12+15+22+5 = 54%Luck L+U+C+K 12+21+3+11 = 47% (don't most of us think this is the most important???)

43. Then what makes 100%? Money Is it Money?... NO!!!!! [M+O+N+E+Y = 13+15+14+5+25 = 72%] Leadership Leadership?... NO!!!! [L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P = 12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89% ]

44. Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude. To go to the top, to that 100%, what we really need to go further...a bit more...

45. ATTITUDE A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes OUR Life 100%
