One Word...

Anyone who has seen the classic film "The Graduate" will remember the now iconic scene where a family friend pulls the young graduate aside and in an almost Zen-like manner, uses one simple word to advise him on the path to a future of success and prosperity.  One word... "plastics".
There is an equally memorable scene in the film "Sleepless in Seattle" where Rob Reiner's character is giving the Tom Hank's character a primer on the do's and don'ts of modern dating.  At the end, he closes by saying that success on any date can be guaranteed, advising with one simple word.  Just one.  The word... "tiramisu".
I'm having an equally poignant moment right now in life, reducible to one simple yet all-enveloping word.  And that word right now is...
"Bombolini".
Look it up.
