I am agree with you.

Even if a person's motivation is only to get that award still he is still
helping others by his mean.

If someone helps poor then he still have a motivation behind. He wants to
tell himself that he is doing a good work and god will bless him.

My opinion is that each and every work you do in your life has a motivation
behind it either it is necessity, routine, responsibility or whatever name
you give to it.
