Anthony J. D'Angelo

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

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

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

Experience is not what happens to us, rather it is what we do with what happens to us.

Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.

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

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

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

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

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

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

If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.

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

Give more than take.

Continually strive to improve yourself.

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

Not only are you what you think you are, more so; what you think, you are.

Don't fear change, embrace it.

Have a strong mind and a soft heart.

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

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

Become addicted to constant and never-ending self improvement.

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.

Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months.

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

Promise a lot and give even more.

Thoughts come through people, not from them.

In life, it is not what you know or who you know that counts -- it is both!

Become a fixer, not just a fixture.

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

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

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

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

If you have a vision, do something with it.

Don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.

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

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

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works if it is open.

The people who oppose your ideas the most are those who represent the establishment that your ideas will upset.

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

Build your reputation by helping other people build theirs.

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

Just because something is tradition doesn't make it right.

All the knowledge in the world is found within you.

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

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

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

The most important things in life aren't things.

If you talk the talk, you damn well better walk the walk.

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

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