Luke 19:11-27 -- Tells us of the Parable of the Minas.
Matthew 25:14-30 -- Tells us the Parable of the Talents.
In Luke, the householder gave ten minas to his ten servants, one mina to each. This would represent the equal opportunities life itself presents to each one of us equally.
In Matthew, the householder gives different amounts of Talents to his different servants according to their abilities. This shows that God sees each of us individually and gives His gifts to each of us according to our different abilities and capacities.
What we learn from both of these parables us that we are responsible for both our common resources of time and life, as well as our individual, personalized gifts, talents and abilities, to use whatever we have received, as tools to serve God by loving one another and the World. We are to use our time and the other resources of this World to help one another in our needs and to promote God's Kingdom by sharing our stories of what God has done for us, the Good News, so all those in the World will hear the Truth of the Gospel.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
