Deer are one of the most attentive animals I can think of. If you have spend any time in the woods watching deer, you will have to say that you agree. Squirrels are skittish and anxious, but deer are cautious and attentive. When they move through the woods, their head is up, their eyes are focused, and their ears are perked high. Every noise that is made, they are are poised, and ready for action if needs be.
Proverbs 4:1 says ~ Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight.
The way in which we gain insight, is to be attentive to it, like a deer. A deer is always attentive to noises and smells that may danger it, or it's young. We are always to be attentive; attentive to our surrounding, so we are kept from danger, and attentive for any words of wisdom, so we can gain insight.
