Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
