Well, this comes from the New Testament, with its mention in the parables of Saint Matthew (25: 14\u201330) and Saint Luke (19: 11\u201327). The curious thing is that in the parable of Saint Matthew, there are 3 servants who have different talents, although in different numbers. However, in San Lucas all the servants have only one talent; each one of them &#8220;works&#8221; it in different ways and generates different benefits and the one who &#8220;buries&#8221; it is &#8220;punished&#8221;. THERE IS NOT IN ORIGIN ANY SERVANT WHO DOES NOT HAVE ANY TALENT. Should this be taken into account?<\/li><li>There is also a medieval definition of this word in Old French that has some curious references such as: will, desire and affection. These references define a direction, a vision to materialize.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e28dd33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e28dd33\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b798cb1\" data-id=\"b798cb1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16ad0df elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"16ad0df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalagenttennis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyrgyos-relajarse-1024x576-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3951af6\" data-id=\"3951af6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7508da4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7508da4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61def95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"61def95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Current use of the Word<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div data-id=\"405face\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><p>We must not forget that originally TALENT was a CURRENCY or UNIT OF WEIGHT.

Let&#8217;s talk about certain players who lack a sense of effort or value of respect:<\/p><p>&#8211; A player who physically makes minimal efforts in training tends to hit the ball in uncomfortable positions since he does not move. These uncomfortable positions force the wrist (touch) to adapt to each blow and this multiplied by days and years generates great ease of TOUCH. Therefore, a &#8220;lazy&#8221; player develops the wrist, has good sensations and good touch, and this development is achieved as part of his NOT WORK, his NO EFFORT; and this is something that, according to my point of view, cannot be praised and does not belong to a divine gift, but to simple laziness and disrespect for what he does.<\/p><p>&#8211; Now let&#8217;s go to the other case, the value of respect. We have always seen players who &#8220;play&#8221; as a lack of respect for their opponent or thinking that they are better than others; These players, when they see certain ease in winning the game, begin to generate blows that appear less effort, thus humiliating their opponents, since only winning is not enough. This type of game, multiplied by days and years of development, generates certain blows that can seem deceptively easy; but it is not like that, it is an equally worked repetition of a certain way of a game that in turn is based on a not commendable concept.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18ce5ee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18ce5ee\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2cefd48\" data-id=\"2cefd48\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eed9a23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eed9a23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-58203e8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"58203e8\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-row\"><div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3094ec4 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"3094ec4\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cb8d35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2cb8d35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><h3><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary );
