Whatever the case might be, the onus is on you to do your best. Instead of "it can't be done", you can say, "I'll give it my 100%" or words to that effect. ben Well, duh, if a boss makes a crazy demand, then he doesn’t deserve to be a boss.

What if your boss made crazy demands like: "i want you to be able to run the 100m in less than 10 seconds by the end of the year." possible? Or, "i want Malaysia's national soccer team to qualify for World Cup 2014". Possible? Sometimes it's better to say "it can't be done" rather than "it's going to be difficult". The 2nd means: it's still possible, but it's gonna cost me my head. Re the 1st one, I think it depends on the situation.

Sometimes it’s better to say “it can’t be done” rather than “it’s going to be difficult”. The 2nd means: it’s still possible, but it’s gonna cost me my head.

As in can you get xyz to me by next week: "I'll try." Does that mean "no", "maybe" or "if we don't have a terrorist attack by next week." Please just tell me "no" if it's no.
