This forum has wrestled with the concept of how much effort a player has to give (or at least promise to give) in order not to be considered a shirker. I think the following exchange from the series 'King of the Hill' sums it up. Hank is the dad, Peggy his wife and Bobby is their little fat unathletic kid who is about to be involved in a match.
Hank: If you want to win, you're gonna have to do better than your best.
Bobby: How do I do that?
Hank: You gotta give 110 percent. That's what'll give you that winning edge.
Bobby: But what if the Wildcats give 110 percent, too?
Hank: Well, then you gotta try even harder.
Peggy: How about if Bobby gave 112 percent?
Hank: Sure that'd work.
Bobby: Or maybe 113.
Hank: Yeah, yeah, that's even better.
Peggy: No I don't know. 13 is a very unlucky number.
Hank: Look we're not talking about 13. We're talking
about 113. And even... Okay, give 112, what's the difference? Look,
Bobby, just do your best, okay?

But this goes to 11.
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,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, itʼs the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
50% on Monday
25% Tuesday
10% wednesday and Thursday
and 5% on Fridays
So what?!
