Here's what I'd say:
1. 'My dream is to work with you.'
2. 'You have to work hard to live in such luxury.'
3. 'To tell a story we should revise first.' (Avoid this one - it's weird.)
4. 'I wanted to help you, but I couldn't.'

To be answering questions like this is probably a waste of time. You've already been told that this is not good English. Why are you asking for help to write bad English?

You're welcome. But I hope that with your satisfaction there will come a lack of interest in this construction. I'm certainly not endorsing it.

Fine, I'll make it as clear as possible. Forget this construction. You will never, ever, have to write or say a sentence like this; and you will rarely encounter one. Note it as a curiosity to be avoided, and move on to better expressions.
