shuffle.with.inexorable.skilled.hustle

February 23rd, 2009

jamesbrown_onthegoodfoot1Hustle. I’ve always liked that word. By hustle I mean ‘to obtain by energetic activity ‘ (not the underhand kind).  It reminds me of 5-aside football coaching screamed from the sidelines way back in Primary school.

“Hustle, hustle,  give and go. Shut him down!!”

The BBC did a survey recently that said the UK works the longest hours in Europe. I think this is true, but I would go further and say that the UK works the longest hours at stuff they absolutely loathe.   I say shuffle on, but if your gonna shuffle, then whatever your (other) hustle is, do it with passion and skill, relentlessly. (’stubborn’ is also a good substitute for ’skilled’ in this swishism)

For today’s caveat though, I like the way, Canadian rapper, Shad puts it:

“Just recognise this,  success won’t make you happy, at best it makes you rich /  at worst it makes you paranoid, bitter and afraid  - anyways, there’s no use for cash in the grave”
