Promise not to promise...

It is kind of disaster to promise. Everybody in daily life asks you promise or to answer to their questions. Since you have not read all book you do not have all answers. But, people are really waiting for your answer. What to do?

Of course, you should not lie and if you said I try to solve it, I will think about it. Then, everybody thinks aha great now I have shared my responsibility and now ball is on the opposite site. Yeah, great but, will this bring any results?

It actually depends... If person really overloaded one, and people who have positions most of the time are over over over loaded. Then, there is not much chance that they will deliver the results that you are expect from them.

Here works two alternatives, you put as much pressure as you can and get your result. You get another choice which is just forget about it, go outside and have a nice day :)
