How to enable mode for all files

Question

What do I put in my init to enable a mode for all files?

Say I want to have auto-fill-mode enabled at all times.

I've seen this post and some others, but all are focused on a specific task. I'd like to document a general solution to a common search that uses best practices.

In your case you can do:
