One of the scientists humorously remarked, \quite a(n) boring job always sitting around hoping nothing will actually happen.\what they have essentially done. They hope that any differences between Dolly and the sheep she was copied from are so minor that they go unnoticed.

You have seen a friend succeed. No doubt you feel joy at this. You love your friend, and maybe you even helped him accomplish his goal. Still, there is another feeling, a dark feeling, within you. You begin to wish that it was you who was enjoying success, and you begin to even dislike your friend. At first this envious feeling starts off like a tiny seed. But then, like a seed, it grows. It threatens to overtake you.
Of course you feel bad about your feelings, as they have become a handicap to your friendship. Still, there doesn't seem to be anything that you can do. Facing your friend invariably leads to more tension between you. Avoiding him just seems to widen the gulf between you.
Instead of feeling guilty about your envy or hating your friend, you should take a different approach. Use your friend's success as a challenge. He has succeeded.
