You're not answering the question. Actions have intentions, and they are also perceived a certain way by others.

"You only have control over your own decisions"

So intention is more important? Your decisions result in an intention for a certain action.

My answer is that neither intention nor perception are the most important. Intention, after all, is just your personal, internal perception. Only the actual action matters; not how it is perceived, not how one meant it to be perceived.
