It is amusing to think this way, but this is true, I would say. You see we can be sincerely insincere to ourselves. It is possible for us to be a hypocrite without actually realising that we are – sincere type of hypocrites. In order to be sincere, it is important that we know our ways of unknowingly being insincere, and until then we have to put up the act – at all times, without fail.
It is not very easy to be able to see our own faults, or see our self truly in a plan mirror. It takes some courage, some experience and lots of goodness just to be able to do that. But life does not wait for the unprepared, the unready and the inexperienced. We see things in life come and go like trains. But we can only be as sincere as we can, based upon how much can this far, and for the rest, we have to act it all out – shamelessly and very professionally. Besides, if we keep pretending to be something we become more likely to be that thing. You see, even our pretentiousness we can be our sincerity without us knowing that it is – as if I really mean all that I write :-)

I also question myself that a lot lately. I've observed some people who goes to the top by being actually smart and not actually through lying. I guess there's a difference between being smart (being clever, witty, has self-confidence, aggressive, outgoing, willing to take risks, etc.) and being a liar. I guess if you are sincere and smart at the same time, then maybe you can make the impossible possible without the consequences of being a liar--just to get to the top.

The secret to a successful life is to learn how to cheat the system while ensuring that nobody else does the same (typically by ensuring that they don't know you're doing it)....
.... So basically... yeah, you got it spot-on.
