我得到过的最佳建议

8.比利•简•金

她得到的最差建议

“我不喜欢那种‘运动员达到巅峰后要激流勇退’的建议。这就像对世界排名第8的记者说：‘你过去是第一，所以现在你应该退出了。’我认为，不应该劝别人退出。不管是运动员、演员、舞蹈家，还是任何人，都值得拥有完整的职业生涯。不知道为什么，如果你是运动员，所有人都想让你在巅峰时期退出。有人就对我这么说。我不希望有人这么说。比尔•布拉德利在为纽约尼克斯队（Knicks）打球时，提到要拥有完满的感觉，即职业生涯的生命周期。我喜欢这种看法。重点在于，你自己做主。别让这个世界为你做出决定。不要让别人定义你。你自己定义你自己。”——对R.B讲述    

8.Billie Jean King

On the worst advice she ever got

"I don't like the advice that an athlete needs to go out on top. It's like telling the eighth-best journalist in the world, 'You used to be No. 1, so you should get out of the game.' I don't think you tell someone to quit. You deserve a full career, whether as an athlete, a performer, dancer, anyone. It's your choice. For some reason, for athletes, everyone wants us to quit when we're at our peak. It was what I was told, and I wish I hadn't been. Bill Bradley, when he played for the Knicks, talked about having a sense of completion, a circle of life to his career, and I like that. The important thing is, you decide. Don't let the world decide for you. Don't let others define you. You define yourself." --As told to R.B.
