【背景综述】
You don't become the first black President of the United States at age 47 without a lot of hard work. Barack Obama was a community organizer, a law professor and a US Senator before being elected President. He is anything but lazy. He clearly knows how to hustle.
Someone who hustles always gives their best effort, especially when it is not easy to do so. An athlete who hustles will dive on the ground to catch the ball and put himself at risk to help his team. If you hustle on a project at work, it means you get it done quickly, but still do it well.
Recently, President Barack Obama gave a speech to a small group of Intel employees. We were among the media at the event, where Obama talked about the need to hustle.
