Let's play with numbers

Ok, the other day I accidentally stumbled into this posting. A posting about how words -that's describing our behaviors- can be changed into number that will show how hard we work to achieve something. This calculation was meant to be a joke but I don't know if any of you will take it seriously (hey don't shoot the messenger ok?)

First we have to put the characters in order with the numbers:
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
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

Now, shall we?

H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98 % Only

K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96 % Only

L O B B Y I N G
12 15 2 2 25 9 14 7 = 86 % Only

L U C K
12 21 3 11 = 47 % Only

G R A F T
7 18 1 6 20 = 52 % Only

But from those above, there's one thing that cannot be beaten by those words. It's:

A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100 %

Here's the kick, those words are believed only work in western socities. And these what we have in Indonesia:

G I G I H (hardwork):
7 9 7 9 8 = 40 % Only

I L M U (Knowledge)
9 12 13 21 = 55 % Only

L O B I (Lobbying)
12 15 2 9 = 38 % Only

M U J U R (Luck)
13 21 10 21 18 = 83 % Only

S I K A P (Attitude)
19 9 11 1 16 = 46 % Only

K O R U P S I (Corruption)
11 15 18 21 16 19 9 = 109 % Only (wtf..)

So from calculation above, we can conclude that it's not about ATTITUDE but CORRUPTION that will take you higher.. to be closer.. to anything.

Hehehehe... weird isn't? Sadly but it's true. The wraith of corruption has infected in a vast manner.

And for "SEX" both societies basically will score pretty much the same =P
