i will say that i have some tiny bit of envy for them but i think they have a reason for being so successful..probably they worked harder than anyone else. so it better to re-evaluate myself why im not successful yet instead of going around being bitter cos i'm not successful. :0)

I have to admit to being a little bit jealous of them, but I haven't really disliked them.

I think if someone says they have never, ever been jealous then they are lying.

No, why should I make myself miserables. Maybe he put in more effort than I do. Maybe he is just luckier than me. And I may be more successful in him in another way.

I feel the same as you do. I don't understand why people feel that way about others.

i did not ever, because i think if you were to dislike someone because he is luckier or successful, the same thing would happen to you when you might get lucky or become successful.

That is true. Why dislike someone for doing good to start with? What does it accomplish?

No. That sounds too much like envy and jealousy to me. I think that those two characteristics are very unattractive.
