Sister: 'Okay, but...'
Me: 'Exactly.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
Sister: 'Really? Huh! Do you know how tough it is to give exams for nearly a month? And if you don’t get over 95%, you won’t get into a good college.'

Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'
Sister: 'No way, it’s not even relevant to compare them.'
Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'
