Columbus had zero qualifications as an explorer. Previously, he was a merchant, but his ask raised his status. Compared to the others on the ship, he asked for less than them. Yet without Christopher Columbus, there would be no opportunity for them. Before he left, he hired the best there was. Columbus was no leader either. He mistreated his crew and had no navigational skills—relying on everyone around him to survive. The only reason he got to where he did was because of the way he carried himself. Columbus had confidence and a sense of vision that made others feel he was destined for great things. It was the bold demands that carried his future.
