I think you mean 'enlightened self-interest'. This is the idea that we do not have to be greedy and selfish to get what we want out of life, which is the approach taken by those with a rather unenlightened view. Rather, if we each act in a spirit of mutual cooperation, ethical duty and service to others, then that will tend to be reciprocated, and we all benefit in the long run. In other words, you can serve your own interests by considering and serving the interests of others.
