Operating in it means you stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*. It means you start playing games you are uniquely well-suited to win. Once you identify it, you can stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*. - Finding and operating in your Zone of Genius is a direct path to a more fulfilling, productive, and successful career. - My simple framework is four steps: (1) Experiment & Collect, (2) Build Your Matrix, (3) Identify Your Zones, and (4) Execute. ##### Twitter Thread **Adopt a Positive Sum Mentality** | Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed. When one of us wins, we all win—winning spreads. If you adopt that mentality, you’ll become a magnet for the highest quality people. **Speak Up** | Closed mouths don’t get fed. A little push goes a long way. Don't sit back and wait for good things to happen. If you want something—and you’ve put in the work for it—ask for it. Worst case: you’re told no and nothing has changed. Best case: it’s yours. **Play Long-Term Games Life** | Life is the ultimate long game. Those with low time preference play it more effectively—they happily delay gratification to allow compounding to work its magic. In a world of people seeking instant gratification, this is a meaningful edge. **Have a High Tolerance for Failure** | We fear failure, so most of us play it safe to avoid it. But our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest failures. Don't accept failure, but don't fear it either. You will fail. Embrace it. Fail smart and fast. **Adopt a Process Orientation** | Prioritize process, not outcomes. When you prioritize process, you become flexible in where you are headed—you focus on the inputs and stop worrying about the outputs. Just keep laying one brick at a time—forward progress is all that matters. 优先考虑过程，而不是结果。当您对流程进行优先级排序时，您就可以灵活地前进——您专注于输入而不再担心输出。一次只铺一块砖——前进才是最重要的。 **Work Like a Lion** | Modern work culture is a remnant of the Industrial Age. It encourages long periods of steady, monotonous work unsuited for the Information Age. If your goal is to do inspired, creative work, you have to work as a lion works. Sprint when inspired. Rest. Repeat. 如果你的目标是做有灵感的、有创意的工作，你就必须像狮子一样工作。受到启发时冲刺。休息。重复。 **Learn Storytelling** | Storytelling is a foundational skill—but it's one we don’t learn in the traditional education system. It's no coincidence that the highest performers are the strongest storytellers. High-leverage storytelling is a supercharger for all human endeavors. **Give More Than You Receive** | Focus on what you can do for others, not what they can do for you. Focus first on the amount of value you create—not the amount that you capture. This mentality will lead to more success and growth, but also to more fulfillment and joy. ### Misc - [7 Cryptography Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuyzuNBFWxQ) > Actually, HTTPS uses asymmetric encryption to establish the identity of the parties and to exchange a symmetric key.

MongoDB is frequently used for mobile apps, content management, real-time analytics, and applications involving the Internet of Things.
