Honestly speaking, jealous is a natural feeling but one can choose what to do with it. When I see someone who has worked hard for the success, I admire him/her and wish to emulate the success.

I really don't get jealous of other people's success. For me when I saw and heard of other people's success stories, I am motivated and inspired to be more hardworking so that one day I can be like them. Jealousy will only hinder us from stopping to move on with our life to reach our goals and success we are dreaming so that "word" it is not a big issue for me :)

I also don't get jealous of other people's success. I get inspired and motivated by the achievement of others. Each person has his or her own particular gifts and talents. So, I don't get jealous.

If you were competing for the same thing then it would be natural to feel a little jealous if someone beats you to something you really were after. In my case however, I don't need to compete against anybody for anything and my definition of what 'success' means is quite different from what everyone else says it is. So, well, no, I'll never be jealous if I see anyone succeed. In fact, I find great pleasure in seeing people succeed in their endeavors and if I helped them along. . .man, the satisfaction one gets!

I don't get jealous about other people's success, well done to them. I just get annoyed with boot-licking (or other horizontal policies) people who get "success" not due to hard work, but to other resources.

Not really, I've found the people with the most success are the people that are most miserable.

I do get jealous, and I think it's just natural. I don't let it get to me too much, though, I just use it to fuel my own motivation in achieving the same success, and if I don't, I don't beat myself up too much about it either. I think a little bit of jealousy is healthy, but too much will make you go crazy.

I've always thought that I'm jealous of my friends who have achieved greatness in their own ways, but I then realized that if you exert enough effort, chances are you will make it as well. Procrastination is your worst enemy, and if you are to conquer that vice, you must believe that you can succeed. You must be self-confident, modest, in possession of an indomitable spirit, persevering, and ethical. These are the tenets which I learned from martial arts class.

Yes... it's a good kind of jealous, though! For me I do get jealous of people eventually. For example my boss is relatively young, very pretty, very wealthy, always happy and saus she feels very lucky. On top of that, she's so nice to EVERYBODY and she likes to help everyone out all the time. I am a little jealous of her, but by no means because I wish her bad or i wish to take her place. I just wish I was a little more like her, i know i could learn a lot grom her and i appreciate the way she is. I think it's healthy to think and feel like that and as you said I think that's natural.

Honestly, no. I don't see the point. Being jealous is just a waste of time and productivity. Instead of being jealous, I could just use that energy to strive and work harder for me to be successful, too. There's no need to be a crab.

I never get jealous when I see somebody else doing great. I am one of those people who love to see someone else doing good, and it motivates me. Seeing someone else do something great, makes me want to do something just as good as well. I would never hate someone because they got farther than me in life. All it does is motivate me, to push myself even harder than I did before.

I can say that I don't ever feel jealous of other people's success, because everyone has their own idea of what success is. Jealousy makes us compare ourselves with other people, and I have learned in my life that it's really not healthy to do that. When we compare ourselves to others we will always see ourselves as either lacking in some way, or maybe as better than somebody else.

Success is measured in so many different ways. Happiness and contentment are what really counts. When someone I know accomplishes something, or is successful at something, I am happy for them And it is a motivator and inspiration for me to strive for whatever my goal is at that time.

I have never been and never will be jealous of anyone who is successful. I still don't understand why people get jealous of others because we all know that in order to be successful, hard work is needed and if someone hasn't worked hard then it's just silly to be jealous of someone who has. I actually can get a little annoyed when someone is too preoccupied with other people instead of them self and the amount of energy they spend on someone else could be used to work at being successful and then they wouldn't have the need to be jealous :D If that makes sense..

No, I won't get jealous of people who are successful. I'll try to find out their success story and see if there is anything I can learn from them.

…no never, it’s always inspiring to see others living their best lives …we don’t all have identical opportunities and choices and potentials etc..and we don’t all have the same restrictions and things to overcome so ‘success‘ won’t always be an identical thing either….and if we’re focusing on that of others too much and where their lives are at…?…we can easily miss and overlook our own successes and that others may be looking at us and thinking…wow, look what they’ve achieved…

…what we all think of success varies so much as well…for some it can be quite a humble thing…/…or it could be to acquire huge wealths of materialistic etc…its what we make it ourselves…
