I don't thing that you are just "lucky" Eric :), I think that you do your job or your hobby and talk about them with a lot of _passion_, and its shows !!, a french philosopher used to say "Nothing great can be achieved without passion"

That's what I like about KDE people... they're smart. When I was a top performing sales manager in my region one of my mentors told me that he believed my success was due to my passion. I have seen people who were total failures at everything find one thing they were passionate about and achieve fame and fortune... just for doing what others did with more passion.

I decided long ago to approach whatever I did with passion. My life is not always easy and I think a lot of people could not handle the uncertainty and sacrifice often required to be self employed. I don't really believe in luck. It's just an expression. Still when I reflect that I spend most of my time doing things I love and my work makes a difference to thousands of people... It is pretty amazingly good considering I fell into both Kitty Hooch and Quanta. That's no lack of good fortune.
