Sarah often helped out at her dad's restaurant, but today felt different - she was given the responsibility of serving customers. Excited, yet nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak(猪排)to Table 6. Her excitement quickly turned to anxiety when she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school, sitting there with her friends. Feeling shy and
afraid, Sarah ducked behind the front desk to avoid being seen.
Though an excellent student,Sarah often felt out of place among her wealthy classmates. She remembered how Kassy used to make fun of her and worried that others might do the same to her for working at a restaurant. When Sarah's dad found her hiding, she didn't know what to say. He suggested that she take a break.
Turning back to the kitchen,Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Hannah,one of Kassy's friends, came over and said that she knew how mean Kassy could be. She also praised Sarah for her hard work.Her comfort(安慰)gave Sarah the strength she needed.
With confidence, Sarah returned to the dining area and brought the check (账单)to Kassy's table. When Kassy
tried to make fun of her, Sarah and Hannah did a silly "crab dance" and laughed together.As she crossed the dining room,Sarah realized she didn't feel embarrassed. Whether Kassy liked her family's restaurant or not, it didn't matter.
As Sarah returned to the front desk, she felt a warm sense of pride, knowing the restaurant was special to her, no matter what others thought.She understood that hard wk and kindness were what really mattered. From then on, she started to enjoy her new role with confidence and pride.

On the subway, by the bus stop.We often see people watching micro-dramas(微短剧)on apps like Kuaishou and Douyin. These dramas have been on the rise over the past few years. In 2023, micro-dramas made 37.39 billion yuan, equal to 70 percent of the money made by China's film industry (影视行业), reported China Daily on Sept 27.

People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different views and make better decisions.
