It is our prime duty in life to look after our interests... that is self interest, but we have no right to pursue a self interest harming others. Selfishness is pursing self interests at the cost of (harming) other's interests!

Selfishness is placing concern with oneself or one's own interests above the well-being or interests of others
Self-interest generally refers to a focus on the needs or desires (interests) of oneself. By extension, it can mean:
Individualism, a philosophy stressing the worth of individual selves
Psychological egoism, the view that humans are always motivated by self-interest
Ethical egoism, the ethical position that moral agents ought to do what is in their own self-interest
Rational egoism
Hedonism, the school of ethics which argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good.
Epicureanism, a philosophical system related to hedonism
Enlightened self-interest, a philosophy which states that acting to further the interests of others also serves one's own self-interest
