“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” – Proverbs 4:7
One of the best ways to be successful in life is to have wisdom, and this can come through listening. Listen to those older than you, younger than you, and even people you wouldn’t associate yourself with because you may learn from them. But above all, listen for the voice of God, because that is the ultimate source of wisdom.
