You do not have to succeed to be successful. The only failures in this world are those who have never tried.
To Ron Clarke - who is best remembered for breaking an unequalled number of world distance running records in the 1950s and 60s - the true measure of success is how you live your life and how you judge yourself, not simply whether you win a race.
A successful life should not be limited to achieving in single endeavour - be it sports, law, music or politics. Success also encompasses how you earn a living, how you contribute to your community, your ethical standards and the friends in your life. Most of all, success depends on how well you have nurtured and developed your own family relationships.
In this revealing autobiography, Ron Clarke shares his journey from his formative family days, through the highs and lows of his record-breaking athletics career, and on to his international business career and his current philanthropic and community interests.
