“How would our world be, if each of us used their talents and their ability to make a contribution?”

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. In like manner he also that received the two gained other two.But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money…” (from the Gospel according to Matthew, 25:14-18)
