When I used "hard work", I also meant "smart, hard work". Doh. You also used "hustle", which is usually unrelated to "smart", and actually has negative connotations as well (as in a "hustler") — I did not take it as such because that wouldn't make sense. Again: doh! It helps nobody to be overly pedantic instead of looking for the most reasonable interpretation of what you read.
