#21: Never take your purple belt to work, someone might steal it.

Life Lesson 21: Never take your purple belt to work, someone might steal it. 


Though most life lessons have come from real life events some have come from songs, movies, and tv shows. This is one of those that came from a tv show. This one actually came from The Office. It was an episode from Season 2 titled The Fight. 


In the episode Dwight had been taking karate lessons and he brought he purple belt to work. 
Also, if you are familiar with The Office then you know that Jim and Dwight have been playing constant pranks on each other since the beginning. This is part of one of them. 


In the episode this quote happens: 

Jim: That's not advice. What advice sounds like is, 'don't ever bring your purple belt to work, because someone might steal it.' [holds up Dwight's purple belt]
Dwight: Okay give that back to me. 
Jim: Say please. 
Dwight: No. That is not a toy. 
Jim: Please? 
Dwight: Please. 
Jim: Good. And it absolutely is a toy. Arigato. 

After watching that episode I felt that it should definitely be applied to a life lesson. I mean, it truly is something you should always keep in mind! I'm pretty sure that if you were to bring your purple belt to work others would either be jealous or would want to play a good prank on you and take it. 

So, always remember to never take your purple belt to work, someone might steal it. 

Also, here is the only video I could find from that scene.
