Quote of the day by Michael Jordan: 'Don't let them drag you down by rumors, just go with what you believe in'Michael Jordan wrote those words in his book I Can't Accept Not Trying, a short but dense examination of his philosophy on excellence and the mental discipline required to sustain it across a career lived almost entirely under the most intense scrutiny professional sport produces. The book is not a memoir in the conventional sense, it is closer to a statement of method, the organised thinking of a man who had spent two decades converting external pressure into internal fuel and wanted to explain, in his own words, how that conversion actually worked.
