The Strange Effect of Meeting Someone

I have a curious rapport with with mathematics and its activities perhaps which I'd like to explain so I don't like difficult problems. If a problem is too difficult for me I don't mind giving up because I'd rather work on an easy problem. There might be problems that are tremendous difficult for me now which could have been very easy 10 years ago but I missed the opportunity. It helps tremendously if I'm having a difficult time learning the reading the suffering somebody's work it help tremendously if I meet that person right?
