A Bridge of Ideas
You've unknowingly connected the practical, strategic wisdom of 'Ask for It' with the enduring, albeit often misguided, idealism of 'Don Quixote' by recognizing that both texts, in their own ways, grapple with the fundamental human drive to define and pursue one's desires. While one offers a handbook for tangible gains in the real world, the other presents a timeless exploration of the internal landscape that fuels aspiration, suggesting that the conviction to 'ask for it,' whether for windmills or a well-deserved promotion, stems from a deeply personal, perhaps even quixotic, vision of what one truly wants.
