"Anything may be betrayed, anyone may be forgiven. But not those who lack the courage of their own greatness."
According to Rand, it is our greatest responsibility as humans.

Have the Courage to Become Great
Set an Example for Other Men
"Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers - show me yours - show me that it is possible - show me your achievement - and the knowledge will give me courage for mine."
This is why Rand sees pursuing our own greatness as the greatest gift we can give to others, and why it is the most ethical way to live. This is what she means by selfishness. By becoming as great as we can, we challenge our brothers to lift themselves to the same heights.
