At one level, this question has a philosophical bent. However, I am looking for a down-to-earth, non-authoritative answer who one may give to such a student. What would be your answer if you were faced with such a question?

Of course, the answer to such a question is as clear as the daylight for MO users. The question was (is) what your **constructive** answer would be **to such a student** if you were faced with such a question.
