Hello,
I'm currently in my 5th year of PhD and I feel constantly jealous about a co-student, which is in his 5th year. We are in slightly different projects but he is more lucky as a lot of papers got published by his team mates. Addionally, even if we start with the same salary, he got slightly more than me right now. In the meantime, our professor (we've got the same) is more elastic to him than me. He is constantly scold me whereas he doesn't do the same thing to him. I know that my colleague is more tough guy than me but this behaviour doesn't help me and motivate me. What can I do? I think I speak to a wall every time I speak to my professor. In other words, I think my professor appreciates my colleague more than me.
