I’ve always considered myself to be someone who’s able to solve problems and tackle obstacles and deal with difficulties. But my wife showed me that she is much smarter than me in that sense. She’s able to come up with solutions for the different problems that we have going on at at home and outside the home. One of the problems that we were dealing with recently, so the person is my wife, and one of the problems that we were dealing with recently was not having enough space in my apartment. We had too many things in the flat, and nowhere to store them. So we basically run out of storage capacity in the flat. So she came up with a great and brilliant idea to buy a new bed which is able to go up. So you put it up and then as you put it up there, they’re called put up beds that you can put up. So you put them up and you are able to store things underneath the mattress and then put them down again and then put the mattress down again. So no one can see the things that you are storing. So you basically have more space, more storage capacity, and people who go visit you at home don’t see it. It’s a brilliant solution because you are optimizing space. So the space that the bed is taking away from your bedroom, you can actually turn it into a storage space where you can put the things that you have around the house.

I've always considered myself to be someone who's able to solve problems, tackle obstacles, and deal with difficulties. But my wife showed me that she is much smarter than I am in that sense. She's able to come up with solutions for the different problems that we have at home and outside the home. One of the problems we were dealing with recently, so the person is my wife, and one of the problems we were dealing with recently was not having enough space in our apartment. We had too many things in the flat and nowhere to store them. So we basically ran out of storage capacity in the flat. She came up with a great and brilliant idea to buy a new bed that can be raised. So you put it up, and as you raise it, there are called Murphy beds that you can lift. You can put them up, and you are able to store things underneath the mattress and then put it down again. So no one can see the things that you are storing. You basically have more space, more storage capacity, and people who visit you at home don't see it. It's a brilliant solution because you are optimizing space. The space that the bed takes up in your bedroom can actually be turned into a storage space where you can put the things you have around the house.
