John Tate is one of the most famous living mathematicians whose work transformed number theory.
In the interview I linked above he says (44:00):
>It's true, I'm not good at solving problems. I would never be good in the olympiad, for example, <.?..> I'm certainly not a speedy worker. That's one beautiful thing about mathematics: it doesn't matter how long it takes if you end up with the result.
We're gonna make it bros!
The rest of the interview is also worth watching.
