Summarize the following:
with a smile and a "thank you." When someone praises your work, accept the recognition rather than brushing it away. You don't need to elaborate on how much work you did, but there is nothing wrong with graciously letting others recognize your work. Try saying something like this the next time someone compliments your work: "I appreciate your noticing my work; thanks for telling me." "I'm really pleased everything went well with the project." "Thank you. It was hard work, but I'm glad I was able to do it." When people pay attention to your work, you may be tempted to say that it was nothing, it wasn't hard work, or someone else could have done it better. If you feel tempted to say things like this, simply say "thank you," and smile. It takes practice to accept compliments and to not feel uncomfortable from the attention. Remember, you did good work and there is nothing wrong with admitting you worked hard! While it's important to graciously accept praise, it's just as important to recognize and name the people who were instrumental in your success. Maybe you worked on a team or got a lot of helpful information from a senior coworker. Try saying something like: "Thank you. It was definitely a team effort and my coworkers and I worked hard on the project." "Thanks so much. Robert from the underwriting department really helped me understand the processes so much better." "Mary definitely helped encourage me to keep going when I got stuck." After you've accepted a compliment, move the conversation along so that it doesn't seem like you just want to talk more about yourself. For example, you could say something like, "Thank you so much, Mark. It was a hard project but it feels good to have done it. By the way, I heard you were working on a new proposal. How is that going?" Depending on the kind of work you do, you may not ever have someone give you a lot of praise for it. You can definitely still feel proud of your work, and you can even mention that you're proud when telling other people about what you do. For example, if someone asks you how work is going, you could say something like, "It's going well. I actually just completed a month-long research project and feel really good about what I did."

summary: Accept compliments Avoid downplaying your work or being self-deprecating. Give recognition to people who helped you. Ask a question to keep the conversation moving. Remember that you can take pride in your work even if no one sees it.

Summarize the following:
Never interrupt, shout over, or insult another person (even if you feel that they really, really deserve it). Keep in mind that not every pro-lifer is motivated by the desire to slut-shame and control women. Some of them have never been exposed much to other ideas. Some haven't thought through the implications of taking away someone's bodily autonomy. Others had a bad life experience related to abortion, and reacted by condemning all abortion. There are reasons besides cruelty, so don't leap to judgment. Religion and government are separate, and religion and abortion rights are separate. Condemning someone's entire religion is cruel and divisive. Not all religious people are anti-choice; for example, it is possible for some self identified Christians to be pro-choice. Even if the person in front of you is a flaming bigot, think of the nice religious people, and don't insult their religion. Pro-choice people have long pointed out how "baby" and "unborn child" are manipulative ways to refer to an unwanted fetus. But calling all fetuses "clumps of cells" is also an insensitive use of rhetoric, because there are some fetuses that are truly loved and wanted, and to those parents the fetus is far more special. Stick with the factual term fetus. Dismissing fetuses as mere "clumps of cells" can be deeply upsetting to people who miscarried a loved, wanted fetus. Don't accidentally minimize the hardship of losing a beloved fetus. Transgender men, nonbinary people, and some intersex people of any gender can also get pregnant. Be sure not to step on the toes of transgender people as you fight for the rights of everyone with a uterus. The lives of disabled people aren't automatically worth less than the lives on non-disabled people. While some "fetal abnormalities" are indeed lethal and may require an abortion to save the pregnant person's life, others (like Down syndrome) aren't awful. Be cautious about advocating selective abortion for disabled fetuses, because this can be hurtful to people with disabilities and their families. If a person only wants to be pregnant if their future baby is non-disabled, that says something about their attitudes towards disabled people. (If they don't think they could handle a needy child, then they probably aren't ready to be parents: there's no way to guarantee that a child won't be disabled, or need a lot of help.) Aborting fetuses with disabilities isn't automatically more "compassionate." Disabled people can experience joy, and bring it to other people too. Non-disabled people experience suffering sometimes. Disability status doesn't predestine someone for happiness or sadness. Instead of lumping in disabled people with phrases like "fetal abnormalities," try using phrases like "fetuses that aren't viable," to specifically refer to fetuses that cannot survive. You are not obligated to change anyone's mind, nor do you have to keep talking to someone who says very rude or upsetting things. This may be personally upsetting to you. Say "I don't want to talk about this anymore," "I need a break," or "I need to get some air" if you can't keep calm. Any decent person will respect your wishes. If the person makes you feel unsafe, leave right away. Call police if you are being threatened or stalked.

summary: Be polite and courteous when defending your beliefs. Never insult someone else's religion. Don't manipulate rhetoric. Remember that not all pregnant people are women. Be respectful of people with disabilities and their lives. Take a break if you need to.

Summarize the following:
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and then cover the baking sheet with parchment paper. Add additional balls of dough, leaving 1" (2.5 centimeters) of space around each ball of dough on the baking sheet. You want to ensure that the center of the dough is higher than the edges. Dust each cookie generously with the confectioner's sugar.
summary: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180C). Roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball and place the ball on the baking sheet. Push the dough balls down with your palm to flatten them slightly. Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until they just turn golden. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on the stovetop. Sprinkle the cookies with rose water or orange flower water and then cool the cookies for 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet with a spatula and place the cookies on a wire rack sitting atop a sheet of parchment paper. Pour confectioner's sugar into a sieve and position the sieve over the top of the cookies. Tap the edge of the sieve, which will sift the confectioner's sugar through the mesh, so that it can dust the cookies. Repeat the process with another baking sheet full of cookies until you have baked all of your dough. Finished.
