One uses the generalised pronoun ONE in place of the generalîsed pronoun YOU - which is what we tend to use in ordinary informal conversation, unless one went (unless you went) to Eton College or live in Buckingham Palace with The Queen. Ordinary working & lower-middle class people, certainly anyone educated at a British comprehensive, use YOU & YOUR when talking generally about non-specific other people; sophisticated speakers use ONE & ONE'S.
