I am. I become very proud of someone, when they have reached their goal. What about you?

Yes, very much so! Some goals are very special and it cheers me to see somebody reach one! I suppose I also have an ulterior motive because when those around me are successful and happy, then we are all content and there is no bickering or jealousy. I am so tired of people who are not happy trying to bring me down all the time. =(

I guess I used to get a little jealous of some others when they succeeded, however, as I have grown older I am able to find joy in others' successes. I really am happy when someone else does reach their goals and even happier for them when they exceed their goals.

Oh yes I am. I have a friend who is a fabulous sculpter and I am so happy that she is seeing so much success (look for her dolls on ebay under kimr3066 ebay id). I can't wait to have that kind of success myself but I am happy that she is getting it.

yes, provided that their success is not in an immoral endeavor. I am happy when others are successful from their decent and honest work

Of course I am really proud of some one when they reach their goals and succeed in life. Why not as we should all care for the successes of our fellow country men and women.

When I see someone else succeed at something, it inspires me as well as makes me happy. Their success helps to remind me that if you remain positive about your own goals or wishes that you too can succeed, and if you don't, then keep trying or try something else. Being negative and jealous about someone else's accomplishments reverts right back to you and makes me feel worse if I'm already feeling bad.

I do get very proud of someone who reaches their goal because that tells me that I can reach mine too if I put my mind to it. It's good to see people reach their goals and they get all happy.

Definitely yes. I would be very happy for someone if he suceeds. This would make me feel proud most especially if that someone is a friend of mine or someone close to me.

yes i am if they deserve to succeed sometimes many succeed but not deserving to be successful, they only did bad works that is why they succeed. it is unfair to anybody who make the things in good ways but not successful because some circumstances arise.

I get so trilled when people I know reach their goals, especially if they have been struggling to get there. I can't stand people that are jealous over others getting what they have worked for. I have a family member (I won't say who) that every time someone around her starts doing good see goes around trying to sabotages them. It's really sad that she wants no one around her to do any better than her. Which is hard to not do since she never works and lives like a parasite mooching off her family and friends.She putts on a smile and stabs you in the back. I could never do that to some one.
