Be selfish to win

Only do stuff that benefits you. Don't treat others with respect or kindness. Ask but never give. If it doesn't help you, why bother?

This is obviously a bad long term strategy.

I wouldn't call this selfishness. It's actually just being dumb.

In order to be truly selfish, we have to be selfless.

Selfishness and selflessness are two sides of the same coin. You don't get one without the other.

To maximize our own profit and pleasure, we should maximize the problems we solve for others.

Help the most people = Reap the most benefits

However, you can't help lots of people without helping one. So start helping those around you first. Love and respect go a long way. Gifts are great desert.

So go on and be selfish... err, I mean selfless ;)
