Often a tzadik merits to one but not more than one main idea. Some "Aitza" piece of advice that can help all others.

Mozart wrote a lot of music but there was only a few of a major masterpieces. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik. The Jupiter Symphony. The Magic Flute.

My own dad had a wealth of great invention that he came up with while working for the USA government. But I would have to say the major thing that my parents had that is a contribution to all mankind [if one can get a handle on its essence] is their kind of common sense. Or balance. There is something to learn from every great person. And furthermore there is a kind of common sense how to avoid the frauds..
