Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
I think that I am more worried about doing the right things. My friends have always called me the "conscious" of the group. By this they mean I always try to keep everyone in line and stop them/us from getting too out of control and doing something stupid that we would regret later. This is not to say that I don't have fun while I am out, I do! but I also tend to keep a clearer head that some of my other more rambunctious friends.
I want to do things right as well; but that is not always the case, so I tend to lean more to the just don't say anything at all so you don't rock the boat philosophy. This has had its perks and its drawbacks for me and is actually something that I have been totally rethinking lately, especially in regards to my personal life.
Professionally I think I will stick with the "keep my mouth shut" routine so I don't get fired again. :/
I have not always done the "right" thing and it has always weighed heavily on me when I have steeped over to the dark side for a night or two. I hate myself for having compromised my values, even if it was for the one I love. Mainly because he proved to be undeserving of said love, but also because it made me no better than those who had wronged me before.
But mainly I act like I do because I think doing something the wrong way is usually an easier and much less painful fix than having done wrong all together.
