<\/a> inspired by the rapper Cassidy\u2019s song \u201cI\u2019m a Hustla,\u201d where Cassidy shows various ways in which he hustles to get by. I\u2019m blogging on this because I think this term, hustling, is worthy of inclusion in common parlance. To break this down, when an office worker is particularly productive, you need not say the tried and true \u201cSally sure is an efficient worker. She really went to it on those DPE memos for C3 and 821x, didn\u2019t she?\u201d No no no, my friend. All you need say is this: \u201cMannnn (draw it out like that), Sally is a HUSTLA. That girl can memo.\u201d See? Wasn\u2019t that easy\u2013and fun?<\/p>\nThis same principle can be applied to Moms. You need not say in next Mother\u2019s Day card, \u201cMom, you sure are a swell gift. Thanks for the cookies and cleaning my bloody knees and blah blah blah.\u201d Instead, say \u201cMa, you are a straight-up hustla. How did you get us to soccer practice and all that stuff and still feed us essential vitamins and nutrients? Thanks for hustling all those years.\u201d Now, isn\u2019t that original? Isn\u2019t that fun for everyone?<\/p>\n
Man, life is short. Go out there and hustle<\/em>. Get after it. Do stuff. Don\u2019t just sit by. And don\u2019t be surprised if some day soon, your boss pats you on the back and says \u201cThanks Don\u2013and hey\u2013keep hustling.\u201d Somewhere, I\u2019ll be smiling.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A hustler, in my vocab, is one who works hard to make things happen.
