15. My boss, Bob, kept going, no matter who hurt him.

One wife committed suicide. Another wife divorced him.

His legal assistant embezzled a substantial amount of funds from the firm, from which he never recovered personally because of the betrayal.

His own partner withheld $50,000 from the firm's assets.

And he kept putting on his suit, shined his shoes, came to work, went to court every day.

He didn't complain, didn't whine. It saddened him and weakened him. And he continued.
