envy towards friends better in studies
Think of it this way, he may have some strengths, in this case, his studies and you may have different strengths, which may be dakwah work. If everbody is good in one thing, then who will do the other work. We need to find our own strength and work on it. In the meantime, understand how he/she excels in her studies and become humble to learn their techniques. Being humble will get you even further, Insya Allah.
my take...
envy being a natural human emotion, and therefore impossible to get rid of. your emotions (except hatred i think) could be channeled in positive or negative ways.
think the question has been answered...
quoting from you, "being competitve is good, but having ill feelings is not"
envious is the root of all evils...... just tell urself, hey u maybe better, but a moutain is always higher than the other mountain.
there are always better and even better person out there! so stop being envious, tell urself, i can also be better :)
well practically speaking, why would you envy others?
why would you want to be like other people?
be comfortable in your own skin and never apologise for who you are.
@ the end of the day, people generally aren't worth envying. they have pretty much the same issues/problems/obstacles as you.
people tend to just vary in how well they hide it.
there! that's my anthony robbins moment.
or should i say oprah moment haha.
hope that motivated you enough.
interesting varied takes on envy here
if think about it. envy is all around us.
eg. advertisments, celelbrities, glamour...
quoting from John Berger's Ways of Seeing.
"Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion"
sorry a little of topic =)

How do you get rid of feeling envy towards your friends that do better than you in studies? Because eventhough being competitve is good, but having ill feelings is not.
