The Thing You Know

Okay - this is an "audience participation" blog....  you can even turn it into your own blog if you like (but please share it here as well)/.. but what I'd like to ask of anyone who is so inclined is to comment here (and blog yourself if you like) about this:

What is the thing you know?

Meaning - at this point in your life... what is one piece of wisdom that you find to be true.  In order to unify the responses a bit, I'll set some guidelines.

1)  Ideally it's something you've discovered yourself through an experience though you don't need to share the experience.

2)  Ideally it would relate to something that you actually have a lot of experience in - your career, your life conditions, your eductation... whatever it is you have been exposed to that has given you some insight.

3)  It is not a judgement against anyone.

4)  It's practical... meaning it's something someone can do and not something someone can be hopeful for or gamble for.

It could be the "if I had to play that moment again, I would have done x differently" type of thing or it could be a "this really worked for me" type of thing.

It does not have to be long - keep it a short as possible actually.

Okay - lets see what kind of comments we get!
