THAT ONE THING ?
I've discovered, while trying to learn "Never going back again" late at night, that if you put your left hand over the third fret and your right hand at about the sixth fret, it's possible to fling the guitar down the driveway so that it skids instead of bounces, avoiding waking up the neighbors.
One thing? Man I get told I ask tough questions!
If I had to pick one thing, I would say the value of good attitude. Practice, persistence, knowing when to leave a tune alone for a bit and come back to it, not comparing yourself to other more experienced players in a negative way, being open to ideas and suggestions, not expecting to be Tommy in a month or a year, or ever.
A lot of things but all summed up in "good attitude".

I have to go with realizing that improvement comes most usually, in very small increments that add up to big changes over time, and that many times I don't even realize that I have made a significant improvement until someone points it out to me. I think we all tend to be our own worst critics.

There is only so much that you can learn about playing guitar on your own ... struggling alone in the wilderness with tabs of dubious quality is the road to perdition.
... ain't it nice here ?

Oh, and as Daryl said, if you break the song down enough and work on each section until you've crack it, you can play just about anything eventually.
And to try new things.
