struggle hard for success.one of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.we are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. we should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us. we should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone elses.evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his actions ，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.you must set your own course of action, and stay on your course. you alone must determine what success means to you. do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. for example, i believe that i am successful but i am not a millionaire! others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter. it is how i see myself that is important to me and my life.here is the truth. being a success is doing your best, not being the best. success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.when we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration. and that sounds good to us!remember the great quote from napoleon hill, “if you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”12.whats the best title of this passage?a.frustration determines
