Okay, I'm going to talk about one of my classmates, his name is Aziz, and he is a very resourceful person. We started at university together, and this situation happened during our important group presentation day. We prepared for everything in our group, but suddenly we ran into a technical issue just before the lesson started, and we felt hyper-focused in this situation.

He came up with innovative and pragmatic ideas instead of focusing on the problems. He found an effective approach. He suggested we look through our phones for a little while to check our notes. Then we started using a whiteboard to explain important points. Our teacher gave us a high score for our creativity and innovative approach. I think this was a smart way to solve the problem. This shows his problem-solving skills in this situation, and I think this is a clear example of outside-the-box thinking.
