Perfect Histogram?

Hi, I saw a tutorial somewhere that said best to adjust you exposure so that the histogram shows as far to the right as possible without clipping.
Sometimes this works fine.
Other times I take a photo, see I can add some compensation & take another so that the histogram is up to but now on the far right. Then when I get home the 1st photo looks better on the computer screen & the second is a bit washed out.
How can I tell when to push it to the edge & when not too?
I can edit the washed out one if it's a RAW file so it doesn't look too bad but it's nice to get it right in the camera if poss.
Thanks for all your help.
