Columbus's Sense of Humor

Columbus made his demands even though he had previously been a mere merchant. He knew almost nothing about navigation and could not work a quadrant. His petition included no details as to how he would accomplish his plans, just vague promises. The king was impressed by the boldness of columbus's requests. By asking for the moon, he had instantly raised his own status. It is only how you have chosen to present yourself that reflects your character. As children, we start with our lives expecting everything from great exuberance and demanding it in return. If you think what you ask for little shuffle your feet and lower your head - people will assume this reflects your character too.
