A Hustler
ARE YOU A HUSTLER??
I've been hearing people (especially ‘guys’)
respond to questions like, “How far?” with
answers like, “So far so good, we are just
hustling.” Today I decided to find out the
meaning of the word HUSTLE and of course,
Encarta Dictionaries is always the favorite place
to go for definitions.
Who is a hustler?
The word has three shades of meaning. The first
two are bad but the third is just ‘wow!’ It means
an aggressively determined person; somebody
who works aggressively and determinedly,
especially to advance his or her career. I just
love this definition. I think that all the great men
and women who affected this world positively
and really made things happen all shared this
quality called “Aggressive Determination” – they
all hustled.
Friends, no matter how intelligent, talented or
able you are, if you don't have a sense of
urgency or the initiative to exploit your potentials
and put forth the effort to realize your goals, you
will definitely fall short of your mark. You've got
to hustle! Our streets are littered with able-
bodied, positive-talking youths; youths with lofty
and mind-boggling visions and dreams who
have unconsciously fallen prey to indifference,
laziness, misplaced priorities and all manner of
self indulgence; youths who are waiting and
hoping that someday, their situation will turn
around for good but are never willing to lift a
finger. No wonder many don't get to accomplish
even the smallest fraction of their dreams. They
lack the much-needed drive, ambition and
energy. They don’t realize that there is no
substitute for hustle.
What is hustle?
• Hustle is doing something that everyone else is
certain cannot be done.
• Hustle is burning the midnight oil; its blood,
sweat and tears.
• Hustle is believing in yourself when no one else
does.
• Hustle is paying the price for self development
through acquiring and using knowledge.
• Hustle is hanging on after others have
