Keep Your Ego In Check Although a good chunk of problems Walter runs into can be chalked up  to bad luck and career choice, most of his problems are a simple side  effect of his ego. Having ambition is a good thing but when your  ambition is overrun by arrogance it can start causing serious problems.  In Walter’s case, these problems almost end up killing him a few times. By all means be ambitious and set yourself high goals, but don’t let  your ego cloud your judgment. Most people who are successful in your  field have probably worked very hard to get there and deserve respect.  Don’t get jealous and put your foot in your mouth, or it might end up  coming back to hurt you. 2. Become An Irreplaceable Cog In The Machine <img src="http://www.zenspill.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Important-Cog.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> More than once Walter’s life was saved because he was irreplaceable.  Lets just take a look at all the people who wanted to kill him but  couldn’t because they needed him: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tuco</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gus</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mike</li> </ul> Chances are your employers and colleagues are not trying to kill you  (or maybe they are..), but you will be a lot better off if they can’t do  away with you. Be the best at what you do or at the very least bring  something unique to the table that they need. This way when your company  is looking to downsize or the industry is changing, you know you will  be safe. 3. Never Make The Same Mistake twice When eating dinner at Gus’s house Gus tells Walt that if he had to  give him one piece of advice, it would be that he should never repeat  the same mistake twice. In the meth business I am sure that repeating  your mistakes could be fatal, but repeating your mistakes in real life  can also be very dangerous. There is no reason why you should be making  the same mistakes over and over again. Actively learn from your mistakes  and make better choices when similar situations show up again in both  your professional and your social life. This can save you a lot of  headache and help you learn and grow at a much faster rate. 4. Always Be Prepared <img src="http://www.zenspill.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/hank-prepared.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> One minute before the twins come to kill Hank, Hank gets a phone call  warning him. Hank has no gun or any real weapon to defend himself with,  but because he had that small minute to prepare mentally and be on the  lookout, he survived. Sure, he was wounded pretty badly and shot three  times but if didn’t have that one small minute to prepare, we would be  short one more character on Breaking Bad. Be prepared for worst case scenarios and have a contingency plan.  This will help you get back on your feet as soon as possible by  minimizing damage. Hank has shown that even a little bit of preparation  can make all the difference. 5. If You Want Something Done, Do It Yourself Outsourcing is great but sometimes you need to do things yourself.  More than once Walter did what he needed to do on his own without  involving others, because that was how he could assure that things would  go the way he wanted them to. If it doesn’t matter to someone else as  much as it matters to you, then you need to do it yourself, even if you  feel that it is below you. 6. Knowledge Is King <img src="http://www.zenspill.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/king.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> In the very intense finale of season 4, Walter was able to beat Gus  because of one reason and one reason only. He knew a very important, key  piece of information that Gus didn’t know he knew. Walt knew that  Hector and Gus where mortal enemies. You will be surprised how little  things you know can help you out in the most random of situations. Be a  knowledge sponge and who knows, it may end up saving your life one day  as well. 7. Embrace Change If Walter was unable to accept that he was dying and he needed to  make a change to the way he was living, we probably wouldn’t have a drug  kingpin, we would have a chem teacher struggling very hard to make ends  meet. It would be a completely different show. We all need to make  changes in our lives once in a while and if you are too afraid to take  that plunge, it can end up hurting you. The only thing that is constant  is change. 8.Bonus: Looks Can Be Deceiving <img src="http://www.zenspill.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Looks.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Walter doesn’t get caught not  because he doesn’t make stupid mistakes (we all know he does) but  because no one is even expecting him to be a drug dealer. People aren’t  looking in his direction when they are searching for Heisenberg.  Understand that not everything is the way it seems. In any profession,  how you are perceived can be just as important as what you know or who  you know. This is the same reason why Gus didn’t get caught until he was  dead.& the best lesson is - Live life in your own Terms <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110817002354/breakingbad/images/thumb/e/ea/Season_4_-_Heisenberg.jpg/220px-Season_4_-_Heisenberg.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
