    Is it possible to have the right attitude but with the wrong action?

    Is it also possible to have the right action but with a wrong attitude?

    Which of the two is better?

    I would say yes. You can have good intentions but go about it the wrong way. You can also do something grudgingly but the right thing still gets done.

    If I had to pick, I would say doing the right thing with the wrong attitude is better - as the right thing still gets done. Your attitude is less likely to effect someone else compared to a wrong action.

    However, why not just do the right thing with the right attitude... that way - everyone's happy.

    things can be both ways...it depends on inspiration and character :)
    it's in our power of decision to choose which way it's suitable for the situation...

    I would say you are right on both accounts;

    You can definitely do the right thing in the wrong way and you can do the wrong thing but be doing it with good intentions

    I would say it's best to do the right thing but be doing it wrong as you can always learn to do it right!
