Anthony J. D’Angelo

Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance.

Don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it.

Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.

Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant.

Have a strong mind and a soft heart.

The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset.

The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.

Always be nice to secretaries. They are the real gatekeepers in the world.

The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.

When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.

Know people for who they are rather than for what they are.

The most important things in life aren’t things.

Don’t fear change – embrace it.

Reality doesn’t bite, rather our perception of reality bites.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.

Promise a lot and give even more.

When you’re young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You’ll live longer.

Build your reputation by helping other people build theirs.

Become addicted to constant and never-ending self-improvement.

If you have a vision, do something with it.

You don’t have to hold a position in order to be a leader.

Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know.

In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information.

You can learn a lot from people who view the world differently than you do.

If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.

Focus 90% of your time on solutions and only 10% of your time on problems.

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.

The only real failure in life is one not learned from.

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.

Run to meet the future or it’s going to run you down.

If life doesn’t offer a game worth playing, then invent a new one.

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Learn not only to find what you like, learn to like what you find.

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.

Become a fixer, not just a fixture.

You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart.

Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months.

Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
