Talents/Skills viewed by the World
The biggest question in life, "Are Leaders born or made?", Many Secular view that almost all the skills a Leader can be learnt through proper dedication, hard work, smart work, etc. But the Christian view is different. In fact the very meaning and objective of a Leader is redefined in the Christian view.
Jesus said: Matthew 20:26-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [a]life a ransom for many.”
Jesus' mission: Matthew 20:28 NIV
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Why the Worldly Leadership does not work eternally? The fall in the heaven, the as mentioned in the book of Isaiah:
But even the secular world considers the failures, struggles, etc not as stumbling blocks, but as a stepping stone for success. The perseverance and aggression, the disappointments and discouragements lead one to the right path for success. But all the gain and glory is temporal and not eternal, nothing but Faith in Jesus Christ is Eternal, because he is eternal.
Psalm 20:7 NIV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
For those secular think that this life and in itself is life and nothing more will loose out the eternal blessings, the perspective of a Christian is Life in this world and beyond... God blesses both.
Philippians 3:18-20New American Standard Bible (NASB)
18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [a]appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. 20 For our [b]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
The success and failure of great men:
This teaches that God inspires these men from the success and failures of other and even from the nature.
From the Parable of Talents, Jesus does not just tell us what the reward for the person who used his Talents wisely or the person who wasted by foolishness for this life only, but for the life that is to come.
We can see the punishment or the rewards after Jesus said:
So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,
along with the noise of your harps;
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms cover you.
along with the noise of your harps;
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms cover you.
12 How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
