她得到的最差建議

“我不喜歡那種‘運(yùn)動(dòng)員達(dá)到巔峰后要激流勇退’的建議。這就像對(duì)世界排名第8的記者說(shuō)：‘你過(guò)去是第一，所以現(xiàn)在你應(yīng)該退出了?！艺J(rèn)為，不應(yīng)該勸別人退出。不管是運(yùn)動(dòng)員、演員、舞蹈家，還是任何人，都值得擁有完整的職業(yè)生涯。不知道為什么，如果你是運(yùn)動(dòng)員，所有人都想讓你在巔峰時(shí)期退出。有人就對(duì)我這么說(shuō)。我不希望有人這么說(shuō)。比爾?布拉德利在為紐約尼克斯隊(duì)（Knicks）打球時(shí)，提到要擁有完滿的感覺(jué)，即職業(yè)生涯的生命周期。我喜歡這種看法。重點(diǎn)在于，你自己做主。別讓這個(gè)世界為你做出決定。不要讓別人定義你。你自己定義你自己?！薄獙?duì)R.B講述????

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.
