"Before we speak, we need to think properly."
Are both of these sentences correct?
1. Before we speak, we need to think properly.
2. We need to think properly before we speak.
My concern here is the tenses that I used.

2. We need to think properly before we speak.

I think before makes enough temporal and logical order here, and these are general truths, thus the present is justified. Both are OK, IMO.
