In the moment, you don't know how important a story is going to be. In the moment, you don't know if you're fighting because you're right, or if you're fighting because your ego, and your desire to win, and your notion of yourself as the hero in your own story are clouding your judgment.
Ronan Farrow

这句语录背后的故事
This was the philosophical core of Farrow's address. He acknowledged the uncomfortable truth that moral certainty only exists in hindsight. When you're in the middle of a difficult choice — whether to persist or let go, fight or surrender — you can never be fully sure whether you're acting from principle or from ego. Farrow connected this to a universal experience that extends far beyond journalism. Whether you're an engineer, teacher, doctor, or miner, there will be moments when the right path is completely unclear. The best you can do is listen to your inner voice and trust your instincts, knowing you might be wrong. It was a remarkably honest and nuanced take on courage for a commencement speech.
