    Do you personally know anyone you envy (are jealous of)?

    I had a friend in two college classes who made a living from internet marketing. He apparently made money by reselling gigs off of Fiverr.

    Who are you jealous of?

    I have plenty of people I admire - some I envy but none I am jealous of.

    Certainly wouldn't be a guy selling on fiverr - I can't imagine what good/service would be sufficiently automated with a high barrier to entry but plenty of demand that fiverr would actually make sense.

    I don't necessarily envy them, but it would interesting to reach the same heights as Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary or Warren Buffet. Just think of all the possibilities that you would have.

    No, no I don't know them personally. I missed that point about personally knowing somebody that I envy.

    He wasn't selling on fiverr-- he was buying from fiverr gigs, bundling packages together and reselling for a profit (a.k.a. arbitrage). His niche was youtube views, by the way.

    My mistake - I didn't understand "off of", down here we'd just say "by reselling Fiverr gigs" and leave off the "off of".

    I'm old n wise enough to know that envy lives within me, and yes I have been and will be in the future ... but it's about how you turn that negative, contracting, emotion into a positive, inspirational, one !!

    USED to envy, but no longer.No one in here or anywhere but my sister. She lives in a house and I used to live in a 2 bit apartment. I was envious of her house and car. I don't care any more because I got upgraded to a nice apartment with marble, cherry and oak wood and Corian. The marble and Corian are on the countertops and the cherry and oak are the cabinets and doors. The tables have turned, so she says.

    No one.

    I have what I have in life and just try to make the best of it. If I don't like something about my life, then I work to improve it. :)

    I envy nobody, because it is a disgraceful feeling. I confess that I know what it is. Few years ago I was jealous for the way of living of some of my friends. Because I can not afford that standart of life. I want to be totally honest, I prohibit that feeling to poison my life. I banned it to myself. It depends how strong is your will. But it is wasting of time to envy somebody. It is an obstacle to achive your goals, because it change your way of thinking. So now I can be frank and really smile to the success of the others. I hope that everybody understand that being good with everybody is equal to be good to yourself. Because tomorrow we can be at their shoes.

    I don't envy people. I kind of envy falcons because they can fly away above everything.

    Doesn't a little bit of envy help drive ambition - and is therefore a good thing?

    Yeah, scrap not envying people. I also envy sarahk because Aotearoa may be the single most beautiful word that exists in any language.

    I'd happily live in NZ just so I can say I live in Aotearoa.
