WHY MANY PEOPLE FAIL

An ancient script has this story to tell. One day a master decided to set out on a journey. Before embarking on this journey, he called his servants together and gave them their stewardship. To one servant he gave five talents, to another he gave two talents,and to another he gave 1 talent. A talent is a measure of gold, or could be money, or anything of value. The master thereafter set on his journey. After a long while, the master returned from his journey, and called his three servants for accounting. The one who was given 5 talents, in accounting, told the master he had turned the five talents given to him to ten. The master was full of praises for him. The servant(or caretaker) who was given 2, reported he had turned his two talents to four. The master was full of praises for him too. The servant that was given one talent, returned the one talent back to the master. The master lost his cool. Was not very happy with this servant. The master called him “wicked and slothful”. Slothf
