VERY good reply =) Yeah, it's true people only hate you (if they don't know you) is because they are jealous of what you have that they don't have. What you said offered a good perspective to those that are closeminded and only bash winners. (Trust me, I know very well.. I was like that when I was 14 years old BUT I GREW UP! hehe)
One thing is for certain though, there's bound to be a hater for each and every winner...
