Goal setting and problem solving.
One thing to appreciate is that problem solving skills are often one of the best success skills to have, as that is the one thing that everyone needs to do in life is to solve problems and get good at solving them. Losers get beaten by problems, winners do not have problems and they have challenges instead by choice and overcome them. Talking to people that are good at problems solving or reading about such people is time very well spent. Again you can easily see how a positive mental attitude helps with problem solving as with a defeated negative attitude you will not find many good answers at all.
