Quote of the Day: Anthony J. D'Angelo on Education

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking you’re “done learning” because school is behind you, then this reminder from Anthony J. D’Angelo is the course correction you didn’t know you needed: “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”

The line isn’t really about collecting facts; it’s about upgrading your relationship with curiosity. Most of us treat learning like a calendar item, something we schedule, complete, and move on from. D’Angelo flips that framing. When learning becomes a passion, it stops feeling like a tax and starts acting like a renewable resource: you spend it and it replenishes you.

That shift matters because life doesn’t pause for competence. Industries change, relationships evolve, and even our own bodies renegotiate what they can do. A passion for learning turns disruption into data. Failure becomes feedback. The painful meeting, the awkward conversation, the project that flopped, each turns into an experiment rather than a verdict. That’s resilience in its most practical form: the ability to stay teachable when you’d rather stay comfortable.

It also changes how we move through other people’s worlds. Learners ask better questions, listen longer, and defend their assumptions less aggressively. They don’t just “win” arguments; they expand their maps. In a culture trained to perform certainty, the lifelong learner quietly practices leadership: influence through openness, not dominance.

As a voice in personal development, leadership, and entrepreneurship, Anthony J. D'Angelo has spent years translating growth from a slogan into a daily discipline. His work insists that progress isn’t a personality trait, it’s a habit you can choose.

Whether or not May 20 rings a bell on the historical calendar, it can still mark a private turning point: pick one thing to learn this weekend, one skill, one question, one uncomfortable truth, and treat it like the beginning of a life that keeps expanding.
