I give you an example. Let's say there are 2 mathematicians 'A' and 'B'. 'A' works on different problems each day. At the beginning of the day he receives a task from his boss and solves it during the day. 'B' is experimenting and thinking about really hard problems. There are months when he does not achieve anything, but he learns new things everytime. He develops his intuition further and further, and once in 3 years he proves a really-really hard theorem. It's not that 'B' is innately smarter than 'A', it is just a different lifestyle, which is in my opinion is much more fun. But not for everybody. We are different. Unfortunatelly I am doing the 'A' lifestyle by day, but at least I do the 'B' lifestyle by night. It is very tiring (especially because I have a family to support), so I hope one day I will be able to do the 'B' lifestlye all day.
