Most (probably all) of you must have seen something similar to what is written below between the lines somewhere on the web at some point of time. That is an advertisement for "Attitude", whatever that word means
--------------------------------------
What according to you are the important things in life?
Expected responses: Money, Luck, Family, Friends, Hard work, Joy, Education, Career, Respect, Love, Aptitude etc etc etc
Now replace each letter in the alphabet by its position in the alphabet
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15, P=16, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20, U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25, Z=26.
So, what do the words add up to:
MONEY = 13 + 15 + 14 + 5 + 25 = 72
LUCK = 12 + 21 + 3 + 11 = 47
HARD WORK = 8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 22 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 97
APTITUDE = 1 + 16 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 96
You can add up the others accordingly.
Then see what ATTITUDE adds up to.
ATTITUDE = 1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100
In all likelihood, no other word will add up to 100.
Conclusion: 'Attitude' is the most important thing in life
---------------------------------------------------
That "all-likelihood" claim at the end is fun, isn't it? I thought of a few words that also "add up to 100" .. I am sure there are at least a hundred more
In no particular order, they are: STRESS, STATUS, WRITING, TELEPHONE, CULTURE
Any conclusions, anyone???
PS: No judgements about me please .. this was just a random observation.
God, that must have taken you a good amount of time to come up with that list! But sincerely, these other words you've 'discovered' represent things that are really important in the real world, fortunately or unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really sit and think about that list .. that is just a result of some fascination for numbers and a habit of playing with them occasionally :)
ReplyDeleteSort of like numerology. But your observation shows it's all fiction!
ReplyDeleteOh! Does it?? But you can still continue liking it, right :)
ReplyDeletePS: Isn't fiction supposed to make sense?
>I didn't really sit and think about that list ..
ReplyDeleteBow to thee! I can't come up with a list like that even if I sit down and think :D
Aap yun hi impress hue ja rahe hain janaab .. khaali dimaag kya karega bechara .. kuchh kuchh karta rehta hai
