Yeeeeeeeah...no.

Aang was shown relishing the glory of being the Avatar on Kyoshi Island, and during the events of Avatar Day. He was also shown being highly concerned about how others saw him & his actions on a boatload of occasions. When he thought that Sokka and Katara might leave him, when he was upset that they were mad at him after he hid where their dad was, when he asked Iroh if he did the right thing abandoning his Avatar State training, when the fisherman called him out on "abandoning the world," etc.

Aang and Korra are both human characters. Sometimes they do the right thing for the right reasons, & sometimes they display human flaws. Saying that Korra only cares about glory and that Aang never has "impure thoughts," or whatever is just bashing & fanboyism, respectively.

Which is what leads me to conclude that the whole "true mind & true heart" business was just a fancy way of saying, "you do the right thing when it really counts."
