Learn the menu of the place you work at like the back on your hand. Where everything is, how much ingredients are needed, how long it would take to cook multiple dishes at the same time, what are the popular items.

Everyday is a learning process, the more you cook the better you get at it. Start with small things like controlling of fire and following. the. damn. instructions. Many times newbies tend to focus too much on the taste the ingredients used that the knife work and temperature control gets thrown out the fucking window.

Won't matter how the dish taste now that it looks like someone sliced the fish with a bloody chainsaw and cooked it with a flamethrower.

spice-wise, you can never go wrong with seasalt and black pepper.

Never neglect your tools, treat them like a part of yourself. I remember a buddy of mine, giant of a man, brutish and crude but would treat his knives the same way people on /a/ would treat their chinese cartoon waifus.
