Do right things, Always?

"Always do right things: this will gratify some and astonish the rest" Mark Twain.  You can find this quote in my office. Two evenings back my debaters came to my office to collect something and one of them read this aloud and said- do right things.

Well, what is right? anything that is not wrong. Then what is wrong? Anything that is not right. Can anyone define right and wrong exactly the way they are? I bet, No. For some wrong is right, and for others right is wrong.

Now, this is not about the definition of right and wrong. But the consequences of being right. Wait, I am there..

• you may have to face a lot of oppositions...
• you will be left alone(in most cases)...
• you will be described as a difficult person....
• you may not find honest feedback or criticisms(remember, criticisms help you to grow, and again, it depends who is criticizing you) 
• and so on...

This is something to do with our ethics, moral principles and values that we hold in our life or which defines our life. And to me, there is no right or wrong. Our actions should no way disturb others. Or at least we must take responsibility of the actions.

Yeah, we can't be always do the right things(Mitch- this is for you and me) when the world is filled with wrong doings, what difference does it make with one person doing the right thing?

But then, before I left my office, I looked at the quote and read it to myself - Do the right things always and let me not care about others....
