Answer Difficult Questions

Tags:

A friend gave me the following advice for answering hard questions:

• Avoid Adjectives
  Don’t make judgments one way or the other.
• State Facts
  Make simple, declarative statements.
• Stick to the Question
  Don’t answer other questions that you want them to ask, just the questions they ask.

To summarize: don’t embellish. Talking too much will get you in more trouble than talking too little.

It was a random conversation, but I thought these were some good points. Maybe Roland Burris needs to read this!
