Nepotism is the opposite of hustle.
1 comments

A hustle is lying about your abilities to trick weaker opponents into taking bad bets. Nepotism is getting a job because you are related to somone in an organization. So, I wouldn't call them opposites of each other...
But if you are given something because of nepotism, it means you didn't hustle for it.
