I believe the answer is: Self-management

Self management refers to the act of controlling our own's behavior in order to sustain our personal well-being.

The children who wait for more marshmallow in the scenario above tend to grow up with a more discipline attitude, which contribute to their likelihood in obtaining better jobs, higher salaries, and other positive life outcomes.
