I would.

To some - many, perhaps most - the self
naturally comes first.

It takes wisdom to realize that collaboration
with others is far more beneficial to oneself
than spending all resources on self...but this
does not mean that all resources should best
be spent on such collaborations, either.  The
optimal balance depends on the situation and
opportunities encountered (not to mention
one's ability to make use of said opportunities),
but it is always a balance, never all one or the
other.
