On a determined Monday, the narrator adopts a positive mindset, inspired by a website, and commits to initiating conversations at school. The chapter outlines concrete actions—smiling, eye contact, and speaking even to people considered “class losers”—with a focus on overcoming anxiety and low expectations. The opening culminates in the first rule: make an
