9．Yesterday，someone asked me what was the greatest skill for a successful salesperson to have．I answered，"The ability to listen．"He agreed with me．But the ability to listen is not only important in selling，it is also important when you are shopping or talking with your friends．In fact，communication may be impossible if we don't listen．
Many scientists explain the way to communicate better is by listening better．By not thinking，just listening carefully to other people，we may know a new way of knowing these people who they really are．
Good listening can always show respect and improve people's relationship．
Many people think that parents should listen more to their children so that they can understand them beter
Teachers should listen more to their students so that they can meet their needs better．Then teachers can place themselves in better relationship with their students．
Students should listen more to their classmates，as they will help and learn from each other．Then they can build their friendship．
By listening to our heart we can make an understanding of who we really are．We can also have more love to people，animals and nature around us．People who know listening are more successful in study，work and life．

As we celebrate the Year of the Sheep，some of you may have heard some superstitions（迷信） about this animal sign．
