Sometimes people are just being such a hypocrite. Just like a recent winner of a IT competition(try not to state too clearly who he is in case it leak). I am actually ready to be an competitor, but however he purposely don't let me join. Maybe if I am a threat to him or what. Then after he win, he come and say he he know he will ask me to join. In front of others, he act as if he is noble and helpful, only people don't know him well. He is a 'successful' hypocrite, someine who success as a hypocrite.
