This is a great question!
 
Thank you for sharing it.  It would work well to apply when you have a conflict with a loved one too.  It really puts into perspective what is important.

Yes, yes, yes. I like this.

Very good question. One of those things that could be read two ways. The second way of reading it would be to study hard and work hard and be both. Room here for both.

For most I think it is best to be well rather than right, that can come after since the object is to be well. But some do not do following well. Some don't even do listening well.

I recall a workshop facilitator ask us this question throughout the day we spent together. 
 
The recent memory occurred when I was speaking to an insurance company about a glitch in our policy.  I noticed that I wasn't listening, and that I was intolerant generally.  Also, I was reluctant to speak to certain other experts to gather information.  Knowing I have a lot on my plate doesn't help, since the end result is what I wish to hear, rather than the facts.
 
The point of the saying "Do you want to right or well" was the facilitator's way of asking us to leave our limited views of situations so we could open up to the truth instead of just forcing our opinions on others.
 
To paraphrase the warning, "do you want 'win'" or be emotionally stable and in tune with the community around you and the world at large, and ultimately "reality"?
