lol fair enough

there is a parable in the new testament about this, some dude tells his employees (servants) he's going away and here's a pile of talents (gold measure) and take care of it while i'm away

the primary exemplar is the one who buries the gold and "faithfully" returns it to his employer when he returns... this one gets nothing and his stack is redistributed to the best yielders of those who invested what they were given in growing their business

talent is like this, it's what you were given

skill is gained through experience and grows with the taking of risks to learn and experiment

ouf i guess i will stick to my shovel work
