Mina is a chef. Tonight is her first service at the Blue Table. Every table is full.
The orders come fast. A soup, a fish, two salads, a cake. Mina feels her heart beat hard. She wants to be good at this.
Her teacher, Chef Louis, says, "Do not rush. One plate at a time." Mina is patient. She reads each order and calls it out.
The team is diligent. The fish is cooked. The soup is hot. The cake is cut. No one shouts.
At the end of the night, the last customer says, "That was a wonderful meal." Mina is proud of the team.
She looks at the empty kitchen. It was not perfect, but it was calm. Tomorrow, she will do it again.
A thought to keep
A calm team can feed a full room.
