What you give to help others, builds them up enough that they are able to give to others. It's a cycle that can continue on long after you're dead and gone.
Talent is a gift, but our character is a choice. Talent is natural ability, our gift from God, but we have the power to determine our character. That power rests on a foundation consisting of the choices we make in life. And those choices almost always dictate the amount of trust others have in us, and to what level of leadership we rise.
