Hard work or Hard luck
Hard work has been the main reason for success throughout history. Inventors, sinentest and leaders are examples of successful workers who scarify a lot of things in order to privilege. Some people claim that hard work is the only means to success and luck has nothing to do with it, while others say that luck is a main factor for successes.

Tim Allen, born in 1953 in Colorado, was brought up in a household with six other siblings.

He later on found that humour filled the “gap” of emptiness and concealed the pain and therefore pursued a career in entertainment. When humor was not enough to alleviate the pain he turned a lifestyle of binge drinking and using drugs. In1978 he was arrested and spent 2 years in jail for selling drugs in Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport. When Tim was released from jail he regained his attention and admiration towards humor and started focusing on stand-up comedy. He later
