Los Angeles, January 30, 2003 – In observance of February as African-American History Month, OptimalThinking.com proudly salutes African-American Optimal Thinkers who have risen above slavery, poverty, and degradation. “You are inspiring the disadvantaged in every nation” says Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D., founder of OptimalThinking.com, the global community website for Optimal Thinkers, and author of Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self (Wiley, 2002.)

“Optimal Thinking enables all of us to make the best choices, and take the best actions to achieve what is most important. With Optimal Thinking, we embrace our vulnerability, and ask the best questions to obtain the best answers. We do more than manage our time and resources — we optimize them” according to Dr. Glickman.

A selection of quotations from outstanding African-American Optimal Thinkers is freely available. Such quotes include:
