l1:okay how many taxes are there and explain?
me:2 types direct and indirect..blah blah
l1:why 2 types there could have been one only?

S2: was going through my marksheet and jumps into okay you have studied industrial management right???
ME: I was like yes (had been in only 2 classes for the whole semester). tried to explain the stuff. ended up with my appraisal meeting what traits of industrial management were used there. I used the word ethics here.

me: explained direct and indirect stakeholders.
s2:what is the difference between stakeholder and shareholders?
me:I thought in I could have not explained the answer so I ended up saying a NO. and also said I could end up being wrong answering this question. Every one was smiling on this.
S2: what is the differnece between morals and ethics?
me: If I am in the army my ETHICS demand me to KILL the enemy, but my moral say it is bad.
