75 Hustle Quotes

We have thrown the word “hustle” around a lot lately. We have remolded it into a polysemic term with several definitions deviating from the actual meaning. When we hear “hustle,” what comes to mind is scamming or forcefully compelling a person to act. But that is NOT Hustle. Although that may be correct a few years back, Hustle today implies going after what you want by dedicating your efforts and time to working harder than anyone. It means you are willing to set aside extra hours for work.
