I agree that some people should do what's best for themselves instead of doing what appeases others...however, some people should probably incorporate more responsibility, and less of what's good for themselves.
For example: Dick Cheney probably doesn't give a twit about what anyone thinks of him...If this is not the case I'm sure there are better examples. This does not stop people from hating on him, and arguably causes more people to hate him.
