540: talent May 31, 2016

Talent is something one is born either having or not, and though it can make someone very rich, to make a living is a great deal of work. This is a belief universally acknowledged, as the word 'talent' in Old English as "talente" used as a unit for measuring weight, derived from the Latin "talentum" meaning ‘weight, sum of money’. The current meaning is a reference to the Latin Bible's "parable of the talents" (Matt. 25:14–30).
