9 Life Lessons One 11-Year-Old Learned From "The Office"

    A fan named Olivia shared these pearls of wisdom with B.J. Novak. Then, lucky for us, B.J. Novak shared them with the rest of the world on Instagram.

    Olivia, an 11-year-old fan of The Office, wrote a list of life lessons that was inspired from different episodes of the show.

    1. "Do not tell lies to make people happy."

    2. "Don't use excuses to slack off."

    3. "Do not exaggerate your injuries for other people's sympathy."

    4. "Do not take 'cigarettes' from random strangers."

    5. "Do not bite off more than you can chew."

    6. "Do not judge people by their appearances."

    7. "Don't assume you are going to get something before you have it."

    8. "You don't always get what you want."

    9. "If you are loyal, you will be respected."

    Thank you, Olivia. You are wise beyond your years.
