Positive-thinking is a mental attitude in which one focuses on the good aspects of life and looks for solutions to problems instead of dwelling on the negative. The two crossword solutions, CAN-DO (6 letters) and CANDO (5 letters), both refer to this attitude. CAN-DO is an expression of enthusiasm and determination, while CANDO is an acronym for Confidence And A Positive Mental Outlook. Both terms are used to describe the same concept: having a positive attitude and believing that one CAN achieve their goals.
