Always be Smart with your answers

Suddenly your boss might give some ideas to a project and ask you how many days will it take to implement.  At the moment you hear the words "How many days" you may tend to give your answer with a number. In that case you will guess a number and give him a answer. But later you and your boss may realize that the estimation was wrong.

In most cases it goes wrong since you just guess and answered. Both you and your boss knows that giving even a rough estimation for a software project is not easy without going deep to the scenario.

Then why did you give exact answer? Since your boss asked the question with the phrase "How many days". But you don't need to answer this question by a number as he asked. Be smart and share the reality that you want to study the scenario and take your time to give correct answer.

You don't need to give exact answer for most of the questions asked by you in your life. Just take your time and give smart answers.
