It's lost.

The guy says, well, I work twice as hard tomorrow to make up for it.

See, that's foolish.

You could have done that anyway.

Today unused is lost.

A talent unused is lost.

An ability unused is lost.

So here's one of the key expressions of the evening.

Take a new inventory of yourself.

Starting tomorrow, new project.

Take a new inventory.

And make sure that all of your talent and ability and mentality and ingenuity and vitality and strong feelings, faith, courage, make sure that all you've got is being used.

Otherwise you lose.

Now, one of the best illustrations of the law of use is a Bible story called the parable of the talents.

The talent story, interesting story if you haven't read it in a while, just review it.

It's a good story.

An ancient story says there was a master with three servants.

He got them together one day and he said to the three, I've got these talents.

And in those ancient days, a talent was a measure of gold.

And he said to the three servants, take these talents and see what you can do with them while I'm gone.
