think this is a great statement in this ego driven world! it is not always about "us", it is ok to do things for someone else, even without any direct benefit.

I volunteer in a large, well known organization.

We always try to filter out people that want to join for selfish reason as they usually turn out to be bad volunteers.

E.g. people try to work on something to gain exposure and then drop everything when something more interesting comes up or they receive criticism.
