Huh, I do many of these deliberately, and recognize them as having helped me greatly for much the same reasons, but I'd never call the skillset "luck" and in fact consider myself quite an unhappy person, as well as bitter/cynical. I rewrote a few sentences to how this is possible and deleted them again for being horrible, I'll sum it up as my relationship to this issue being quite complex and curious, and I having apparently found the most ironically un-lucky ways of being "lucky" there is.
