sliced them up into 10percent VS sliced them into 10 percent
I read #1 in the script of the speech by Brain Tracy.
Then, I'm curious about what "up" means in the sentence.
moreover, What 's a difference between with "up" and without "up" in # A ,#B?
And more , Is #b grammatical and Does it make sence?
#A - they sliced them up into 10 percent
#tB -they sliced them into 10 percent
-------The script goes :
So they interviewed more than 350,000 people like you. And they were interviewing them every week for 6weeks or 6 months 12 months 18 months 24 months.
And once each week, they would phone them often, they would say "What are you thinking about right now?"
And the person would say what I'm thinking about this and they would write it down.
One week later, they would call say "What are you thinking about right now?"
They would do this every week for many months. And gradually they began to see a profile.
And they then took this group of people and
#1 theysliced them up into 10 percent.
The bottom 10 percent, the next 10 percent and finally the top 10 percent. And you are in the top 10 percent.
So they looked at the way people in the top 10 percent think most of the time.
And can you guess what the top people the happiest, the highest paid most successful people think about most of the time, can you guess?
