chance favors the prepared mind Lluis, and using Leica M cameras allows 
one's mind to be the computer that drives the camera,

these are the reasons that you are so good and so lucky, so very often.  
Another well known photographer has put it in the following 

way......

"To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a 
way of life." ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson


I think that this applies to you,


Steve
