"Percentage"

I have started realising how this magic mathematical term plays different roles in everyone's life.....right from our birth to death..infact many times this term relates to us much before our existence!!.....
Many of our well-wishers might have told our pregnant mother before giving birth to us about our gender in percentage!! You might have heard your granny telling someone that "this time 100% you'll be blessed with baby-boy or baby-girl".....you need
not be expert in mathematics to use this term.....its simple and common!!
This term will not leave you alone..be it your education,your job,business,finance,stock,your age,your performance and your death....everywhere it lays its icy hands!!
During our education,this term is like mantra for us and our parents.....we dream of getting good percentage(I am so bad in scoring marks that even in dreams,I dont get 100%)......our parents set some range of percentage for our needs.... "for cycle, you have to score above 80%, for bike,above 90%".....;-)....this percentage decides how people react with you....if you are a good scorer,you get good percentage of respect and vice-versa!!
This term also decides your higher education..the stream you get in, the college you get!!
Then comes the job-hunt phase,you have more opportunities if you have good percentage..In your job,this number starts stealing your sleep during appraisal time....you start calculating your CTC,take-home(common IT terms ;-0) with different hike percentages!! This term decides your career....whether to
jump to next company or stay-back!!
oooooo....I think I am forgetting to mention its role in the most important fact of everyone's life called "marriage"....If your luck percentage is good,you'll get your dream girl/boy..if its 100%(ideal case!!),you'll lead the happiest life!! but,do ideal things really exist in life?? ;-) I was impressed by a T-shirt print which I read after marriage(it was too late.....)-- "10% of people are happier,rest
are married" ......just kidding.....in this case my percentage is good!
Then comes "percentage of bank interest".......my God!! Donno about spouse,but this percentage is a real life partner in everyone's life!......then children,their education,pension.....the percentage cycle continues.......

One fine(!!!!!) day,while we are in our death bed counting our last days......we hear doctor expressing his helplessness to our near-ones in percentage.....saying "only 10% hopes, rest is in Almighty's hands!!"....and then the
hope percentage graph starts dipping.....the '1' in 100% disappears.....making our existence 00%....totally void !!
Wish you all 100% success....
