Don’t reinvent the wheel is a common idiom meaning do not duplicate efforts to create something when a basic method has already been created or optimized to improve the outcome. A young Anthony J. D’Angelo was quoted as saying “don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it.” At the age of 23, Tony D’Angelo in 1995 decided to challenge the mindset of higher education. He felt that colleges were handing out degrees but not really educating young adults to function in the world. Based on his own educational experience in college, he felt as if he learned more about life from his activities and involvement than from his courses.
