Sample Answer 1
One person who solved a problem in a smart way is none other than my mom. We have a huge common plot in our locality. We had taken the place for a family function. Lunch was arranged for almost 100 guests. There was a deal that we had to vacate the plot before 4 pm and also clean it well. The problem was that the cleaners did not turn up and we were in soup. It was such a big place and there was no time and energy that we could do it ourselves.
The place was littered with spilled food and some flowers and leaves. My mother solved this situation in a very intelligent manner. She asked me and my brother to attract all the cows of the locality to the plot. We did what she said. To my pleasant surprise the cows ate away everything and the place looked cleaner than what it was.
person solved problem smart
The issue was tackled within no time and that too in such a smart way. I think this was a smart solution because it was a win-win situation for all. The cows got food and neither we had to pay anything extra to the cleaners and nor do it ourselves. It happened a long time ago and I was a child at that time.
However, it was such an amusing experience for me that I still think about it and enjoy the memories. Sometimes, in life big problems have simple solutions. My mom solved the matter in an innovative and interesting way.
Sample Answer 2
person solved problem smart
People say that there are some people who are book smart while there are others who are street smart. But, sometimes, I think that the street smart persons come handier than the others. After all, it was the street smart person, who gave me a clever solution to a problems. As for me, I liked going to school and attending the classes, but what I never liked was to carry a load of books in my backpack from home to school and then to home again every day, either because I was physically weak or because I was a bit too lazy.
But, whatever was that the reason, I was desperately trying to find a solution to this problem of carrying books. So, I asked Raman for a solution, and in response, he simply told me to give him some money (that I had saved from my tiffin money). Then, he told me to wait for a couple of days. Till that point, I had no clue what his plan was with my money, but exactly after two days, Raman handed me another set of school books and told me to keep them at my school locker.
Apparently, he purchased those books with my money, and the idea was that I would keep one set of the book at home and the other set at my school locker so that I wouldn’t really need to carry the books again from home to school and vice versa. Anyway, the solution was simply brilliant and very clever considering our age.
It was smart also, because it wouldn’t only help me save my breath, but would also save me the time to organize them at home. Apart from this, the solution also gave me ideas about what else I could have done with my saved up tiffin money.
