Attention is one of the most powerful features of the human mind. In Zen, attention allow us to be "here and now", with no errors, without losing energy in other thoughts and with a clear mind.
You can train attention through meditation and in you everyday tasks and life. That demands hard work, you can't allow your mind do what it wants, it must do what you want. With this awareness you are always in the present (there isn't nothing more than the actual moment)
At the same time, attention is useful against fears, stress or problems, because you can see the moment that that thoughts begin to appear, because you only made one thing at a time. In the work, at home or in your spiritual life, you always must pay attention.
