Who was the last person you regretted meeting for coffee?
Perhaps they tried convincing you to do something you didn’t want to. They pressured, spammed and pushed you.
Too often, we mistake pushiness for persistence. In doing so, we squander our reputation and the trust of a healthy community.
The difference between hustle and persistence lies in whether people feel grateful after knowing what you know.
Think of the teacher who stays back and offers extra tuition to struggling students. Or that friend who invites you one too many times to the gym.
Be that someone who persists on behalf of others.
Hustling is not generosity.
