Do you feel happy for your friend's success, or

You are right that friendships get spilt if one jealous of one's friend's achievements. We need to accept the fact that our friends deserve good things in life. Our success or failure are not realated to their life. If they do something wrong to gain success over us, then you have every right to denounce them.Because, they have spoilt the friendship already. Otherwise, their work and success through proper means must be appreciated, if we are their true friends.

Like sunslinger said, there will be some feeling of envy... usually it stops there. My friend made it, and I am happy for them. Opportunities are not always handed out fairly to all of us. We make what we can of those that are handed to us. So if my friends make it, of course I will be happy for them. Sharing their success with us is one thing... boasting about it and thumbing the rest of us down for not being able to achieve the same success as them is another.

Hello,piropos,i do not like to be jealous of other people,I am happy for who I am ,if my friends are successful,i will be happy to be their friends.I do not like to compare with other people or to catch up with the success and achievement of other people. There will always be people who are more successful to us,it will only make us unhappy to compare with them.

i kinda admit to that fact though. but really thats the reality of life, there are people who are higher or lower than us when it comes to financial aspect or level of success. as for me there are times that i feel jealous and it lead me to examine myself more and try to evaluate on how am i doing with my life. but now i come to realized that i only compete with myself and not compete with others to lessen the fact of being jealous. sometimes jealousy to some grave extent lead to the destruction of one's relationship with friends.. some friends try their best to destroy their friend so that they will be on top and that's oh so tragic..

well i guess success starts from humility and the true meaning of success is by helping people achieve their own success too..

Of course I would be happy for him.. 'There will always be the time that I will also be successful, but not now' That should be the right thinking. I believe that this jelousy thing is the cause of crab mentality.

when i see some one succeed even if not my friend i became so happy to him , and i feel that me who succeed , this is something give me hope in the future , imagine that all your friend fail , isn't this a bad sign that you can fail too ?! i think success bring another .

yes you're right..i mean..let's face it..there's many people who are more than us..so we just have to accept that fact and not be jealous for we have our own talents and advantages too.

I will feel some pangs of jealousy. I think it's only normal. But after all these years, I hoped I've gained some maturity, so I actually feel proud for my friend's achievement. Coming from the opposite angle, the reason you brag to your friends is so that you want them to be proud of you isn't it? That all your hardwork has paid off and while basking in its glory, you want to share it with your friends. So be there for your friend. :)

well, I think it will be so human if we jealous for someone else's success. but I think that with our friend successful mustn't be the end of our friendship, but it must be our strength to make our life to be more successful from our friends, it must be our motivation! sometimes I feel jealous, but than I realize, by being jealous can't make my life better, it just make me thinking of his/her successful, and me?just sit back and do nothing, SO my friend successful is my motivation to be success even more success than my friend..

hmm a little perhaps. yap everyone should be jealous i guess. that's a nature. well i jealous but i think i'm not gonna stab my frens from back just because i'm jealous. JEalous is Jealous... that a feeling that makes us to growing, to get the target. it's hard maybe to accept but... no one better... no one perfect just live ur life to the fullest

That's a bitter truth, so far what I have observed people.But ,I am never jealous of my friends achievement in their lives rather I congratulate them for their success and take inspiration.Perhaps this could be the cause that I am center of my friends eye.Those who you love,never think bad about them.And it comes on ones face if one tends to lie.
