Ralph J. Carlson believes in physical fitness, optimism, and that most of the greatest discoveries and inventions were accomplished despite overwhelming odds. Because of faith, creativity, endurance, vision, daring, and persistence, many people have reached their goals. Along the way these people practiced the parable of talents as found in Matthew, Ch. 25, Ver. 14-29 of the Bible. This is the basis of this book. The stories of these and many other outstanding people comprise "Talent Unleashed". May this book inspire you to discover within yourself your own talents, and to use them to their fullest.
