1. Endure defeat
At the beginning show the protagonist is faced with injustice. Frank Underwood helps Garret Walker win in the presidential elections, for which he should appoint him Secretary of State. But as president, Walker does not fulfill his promise.
Underwood in this situation there is very wise. He is not satisfied with the scandals and tantrums, and insult in silence blows. And the same day is building a new plan to reach their goal.
The nature of man is not determined by how he or she enjoys the victory, and the way a person suffers defeat.

In life there is a place and victories, and defeats. When the circumstances are not in your favor, do not indulge in dejection. Assess the situation and adjust to the new conditions. Do not give up.
2. Show your gratitude by deeds, not words
Underwood surround yourself with people who are willing to go through fire and water for him. But he did not remain in debt. For example, it takes the bodyguard Mitchum of the Capitol police intelligence service. This is an incredible boost in his career. In response to his subordinate thanks Frank said the important words:
Continues to be useful - is the best way to show gratitude.
Frank Underwood
Bit pragmatic, but the way it is: what is the use of words, when, supporting each other with real actions, it can be a great success.
3. Do not be naive
Garrett Walker, who once gave Frank increase, paid for it in full. Due to the political machinations Underwood Walker lost the trust of voters, his rating has reached a record low of 8%. President resigned, and was replaced by Underwood.
The funny thing is that Walker did not guess who is behind all these events. Yes, Frank Underwood is not easy to resist the cunning and intrigue. Still, an experienced politician should be more far-sighted.
It is better to hold the reins, than watching from the rostrum.

Of course, you are not the President and it is unlikely you from all sides surrounded by cunning enemies. But you will agree, it is unpleasant to become a victim of fraud, if not leading to such disastrous consequences. Often remember people's wisdom: trust but verify. And listen to your own intuition, it rarely fails.
4. Distracted from the problems
Claire Underwood runs in any weather. Her husband after a hard day's work sits at the computer games or playing in Monument Valley on the smartphone. They switch their thoughts to something else, and then come back to the problem with a clear head.
The heart may muffle the mind, when it rushes all the blood.
Frank Underwood
Disconnected from the problems for a short time - a very useful skill. Do not get hung up at work. Run, play, read a book or lie down for half an hour in silence. Find a hobby that will help you overcome the emotional turmoil.
5. Use fear to become stronger
Doug Stamper - chief and unconditionally loyal assistant Underwood. But he has a secret: one time he was an alcoholic. Addiction returned thereto in the difficult period of recovery after injury. Doug falls out of political life.
Only the fear does not remain out of work and without a purpose in life gives Doug force coping with addiction and return to the White House.
I have to be ruthless with himself. I have to use your own, but it makes me stronger.
Douglas Stamper
Pitying yourself, you will remain in place. Use your fears in order to move forward. Let it is unpleasant, but the results are amazing.
6. Wait until conditions change
Remember, when the US President Underwood tried to persuade President Petrov Russia to participate in joint peacekeeping operations? After the talks, Petrov said his firm "no" diplomatic agreement has not been reached. Chet Underwood left Moscow with nothing.
But when some time has passed and the dust settled, Claire has successfully negotiated with the Russian leader in the framework of the G7 summit.
If blowing a gale, it makes no sense to swim against the current.
Frank Underwood
A firm "no" - it is a firm "no" in such a situation can not be helped. Adequately take failures. But that does not mean you have to forget about their goals. When conditions become more favorable, come back to it. And then success is inevitable.
7. Take care of people who are on your side
Claire and Frank - a husband and wife, and even the most loyal allies of each other. At least, it was not until the beginning of the third season, while Claire did not go counter to Frank on the Russian question.
Frank chided Clare and gave her clearly understand that it is nothing of itself is not without it. Strained relations between the spouses had almost led to the collapse of Underwood in the political arena.
Obtained from friends are the most dangerous enemies.
Frank Underwood
Frank and Claire his example showed the best way out of conflict: Look for and find a compromise. Ideally, the best thing this will not bring. The partner relationship is not the first and second. Most of the enemies loved ones are obtained for one reason: they often know you better than you know yourself. Including all of your weaknesses.
