She asked me if this is a big deal. I told her it is a bigger deal than failing, getting average marks or high marks. On its own, it is not a big deal. Even if you gain a Nobel, it is not a big deal. Of course it is bigger deal than not having gained it. The whole idea is to do well in as many things as possible because if you master them, you will be able to use them for hers and others sake. People joked about returning to the teacher what they had learnt after leaving, but that it the result of not knowing it well enough to make it useful.
What's the big deal then? To know that special hidden treasure in the field, and to sell everything to buy that field to obtain that treasure.
