Am I…?

Shouldn’t I be happy that my friends are rapidly climbing the ladder of success? Am I jealous? No. I really am not. Then why am I feeling so lousy? Is it because I am disappointed at my own inability to achieve what they have? Partly.
But I think there’s a bigger reason for this. That I wasn’t given half the opportunities that others were given to prove their mettle. That if I were in their place, I probably would have done at least as much as them, if not more.
Or maybe I don’t deserve it. Maybe I’m just making excuses for my own incompetence. Maybe…

Welllll……everyone goes thru’ the phase “if i were in their shoes, i’d do better ” ..but i think we all do get our chances also, why, yours might be just around the corner. So chin up, and don’t fool yourself into believing you are incompetent!

Sure, and I would have been a billionnaire by now. I mean it is not like I had the opportunity to choose my brains and where I’d be born and …!

Alright, alright… I’m being a wuss, I know! But still, if you guys had my adviser, and were promised a paper every semester for all the ass-whipping work that you’ve done, and you don’t get it, you’d probably feel just like me!
Hell, life’s… like that!
