Alrrrrighty . . . . . . . I know you just said ONE and that you reiterated JUST ONE but here goes.
1. Don’t always follow directions. The best things are learned by sometimes overstepping boundaries.
2. Laugh. What? Laugh! I don’t get it. Okay, LAUGH! Laughter truly is the best medicine for everything. But, what if I don’t feel like laughing? Laugh at that! Laugh at the fact that you don’t possibly see anything worth laughing about. See funny movies, hang out with funny friends. Find the funny things in everything – trust me if you look hard enough you can find something goofy about everything. And laugh.
3. (Like a responder above said, not as deep as other answers but invaluable to me). First, I can’t take responsibility for how safe it is!!! But, one time my front tooth chipped and I had a wedding to go to and not enough money or time to get it bonded. Well, while having fake nails put on, I thought about using the acrylic powder and liquid stuff they used, to bond my own tooth. Not only did I fix the one that had chipped, but I ‘worked’ on my other front tooth and gave myself a kick-*** smile. In fact, the pictures turned out great. In any case, again, I am not certain how safe that stuff is if ingested, but I have used it two or three times for going out to special events and once on Halloween.
4. Keep a scanned copy of every important document and an extra set of keys to everything somewhere other than at your home. This one has gotten me out of a lot of predicaments!
Good question and answers from everyone. Made me think.

Not as deep as the others, but practical:
Use baby powder to get wet sticky sand off after you've been to the beach.
It really helps. I always have a generic bottle/box of it in my beach bag. The powder helps the sand dry and just rub off. Makes the drive home more comfy. Especially helpful if you have little kids!

There are so many, so here are a couple that I really like, mostly to do with life in general:
Don't be afraid to try something new for fear of failing. If you don't try, you will never know what kind of "impossible" things you can actually do. You will never grow as a person, and you will always wonder what would have happened if... Stepping out of our comfort zone is terrifying, but it's important. Do one thing every day that scares you.
Another one:
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Attitude is everything.
And last but not least (this comes from one of my favourite quotes)
"Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching."

Never speak ill of your friends family. Even when they are all total goofballs & your friend hates them & such. Your friend will get upset. Just listen to the friend and zip the lips! No one wants to hear how creepy their brother is from an outsider

Ok, this one isn't deep like everyone else's, but we live by it with our business.....
"Procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
That would probably come in handy in an office environment with co-workers as well.

Too many people get wallowed down in regrets and the coulda shoulda woulda. Learn from it, grow from it and let it go - and try not to make the same mistake again.

if you live each day right you will know that you don't know as much as you thought you knew the day before
