A Bit of Luck.

Ok, you are working hard, have a good preparation, and a clear target. However, sometimes, to get your target, you need a bit of luck too. Now I will talk you a story about the biography of Alphonse Mucha, which I read some years ago. He was a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist, that lived in a very modest way in Paris. So his artistic life was not very good, conversely, he was thinking to come back to his homeland. One day, all this picture changed. At Christmas, on a 26 December day, he was working printing a job for himself, in the publishing firm Lemercier. That day, the famous theatre actress Sarah Bernhardt phoned to the firm boss because she need a new and urgent advertising poster for the continuation of her theatre play "Gismonda".
But all illustrators of the firm were there on vacation. The boss told Sarah that in that days, all staff they didn't work. In addition, she need the new poster ready by 1 January. How that the unique illustrator that was working these days in the print was Mucha, then the boss and Sarah Bernhardt they go talking with him for this urgent work. The rest is history.

'Tell' because you're doing the action of talking, and present tense.

He was a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist, thatwho lived in a very modest waly in Paris.

Very modest -> modestly
It's like saying 'much more stronger' when you can just say 'stronger', as an example.

So his artistic life was not very good, conversely, he was thinking to comeof going back to his homeland.

One day, all this picture changed.

At Christmas, on a 26 December daythe 26th, he was working at his printing a job for himself, in the publishing firm Lemercier.

That day, the famous theatre actress Sarah Bernhardt phoned to the firm boss because she needed a new and urgent advertising poster for the continuation of her theatre play "Gismonda".

But all the illustrators ofin the firm were there on vacation.

The boss told Sarah that in thatose days, all staff they didn'twon't come in for work.

In addition, she needed the new poster ready by 1 January 1st.

How unique was it that the unique illustrator that was working these days in the printfirm was Mucha, then the boss and Sarah Bernhardt they gn went to talking with him forabout this urgent work.

Ok, imagine you are working hard, have a good preparation, and have a clear target.

SoBut, conversely, his artistic life was not very good, conversely,so he was thinking to come backof returning to his homeland.

I might write "his artistic success was limited" or "success as an artist was limited" instead of his "artistic life"

One day, all this picture changed.

AtNear Christmas, on a 26the 26th of December day, he was working, printing a job for himself, in the publishing firm Lemercier.

This sentence is unclear if he was working for the firm as a printer or if he just happened to be there printing something for himself.

That day, the famous theatre actress Sarah Bernhardt phoned to the firm boss because she need a new and urgenturgently needed a new advertising poster for the continuation of her theatre play "Gismonda".

But all the firms' illustrators of the firm were thwere on vacation.

The boss told Sarah that in that days, all staff they didn't workthe staff was not working that day.

Or, if you mean they will not be working before she needs the poster: "The boss told Sarah that the staff would not be working before she needed her poster."

In addition, she needed the new poster to be ready by 1 January 1st.

How thatBecause the unique illustrator tMuchat was working these days in the print was Mucha, then, the boss and Sarah Bernhardt they go talkingalked with him forabout this urgent work.

Or: "Because the unique illustrator Mucha was available, the boss and Sarah Bernhardt asked him to make the poster."

The rest is history.
