R.I.P. George Steinbrenner

2010 July 15
by Karl Schmieder

What does the death of the Yankees’ owner have to do with biotech and entrepreneurship? It has to do with attitude. Steinbrenner was obsessed with winning. He famously said,

Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.”


And,

“You show me a good loser—and I’ll show you a loser.”

(Which incidentally, is also attributed to Vince Lombardi. Shout out to Jim Chinitz for the quote and reminding me to write this.)
