Dan Miller Quotes

We are all very individual. You have to find out what you can do best, and be self-conscious about that.

Your strengths have to stand out. Your strengths have to be perfected.

What it is you do, no one else does. Just hone in on it, and just get better and greater.

Don't wish to be normal. Wish to be yourself. To the hilt. Find out what you're best at, and develop it, and hopscotch your weaknesses. Wish to be great at whatever you are.

Focus on making you the best you you can be as an actor and follow your own path. You can't compare an apple to an orange. It will cause a lot of self-esteem issues.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

I believe we're all endowed with a very small set of narrow skills that make us unique. You've got to find what that is. Most often what you truly understand makes you unique is something that you're also going to build passion around.

You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.

To become 'unique,' the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

Ain't no man can avoid being average, but there ain't no man got to be common.

You are you, and nobody else can do what you do. But a little talent can help.

Honestly, I don't think I'm exceptionally pretty or talented. But the advantage I have is that the performances I do can only be done by me.

All of us are born with certain gifts, and the secret to success is figuring out what your gift is and using it in a way that benefits others.

I'm not bothered about what others are doing. All I want to do is excel in whatever it is that I do.

Whether you're 9 or 90, stop trying to fix the things you're bad at, and focus on the things you're good at.

I've accepted the fact that because I'm human, I'm terrific in one thing, good at some, mediocre at a bit more, and terrible at others. And if you're human, you are too. You'll have to discover the one thing that you are good at and major in it.

It is never easy to demand the most from ourselves, from our lives, from our work. To encourage excellence is to go beyond the encouraged mediocrity of our society is to encourage excellence. But giving in to the fear of feeling and working to capacity is a luxury only the unintentional can afford, and the unintentional are those who do not wish to guide their own destinies.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

Never underestimate your talents, and try not to compare or wish for the talents of others. Focus on and accept the talents you have, and you will find great fulfillment in life.

You do things other people cannot do, so just stay in the moment as you improve the other areas.

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all.

It is foolish to try to imitate the skills of others.

Whatever your passion is, keep doing it. Don't waste time chasing after success or comparing yourself to others. Every flower blooms at a different pace. Excel at doing what your passion is and only focus on perfecting it. Eventually people will see what you are great at doing, and if you are truly great, success will come chasing after you.

Be the best at what you're good at

If you concern yourself with your neighbor’s talents, you’ll neglect your own. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both!
