“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.”

Using all my talents has always been a guiding principle for me – it pleases Life, benefits society but most of all, it gives each individual a sense of purpose and direction. Nice post!

Love that quote! For us guys, the famous basketball coach, John Wooden, once said something similar: “Success is the peace of mind you gain from knowing you did the best you could with the talents God gave you.”
