If the context is about a particular man, then yes it's okay...
Example: "Reality is the last acceptable thing for the man so he shuts himself at home." - "the man" here is a particular man.
if it's about humanity as a whole, then maybe settle for "a man" -- or "men"...
Example: "We don't easily accept failure, suffering; sometimes reality is the last thing acceptable for a man in pain.

You can achieve basically almost anything you want... But of course, there will always be a corresponding price to pay(time, effort, hardwork or something else). Goodluck!

Most people would understand this sentence as something that has already happened in the distant past. So If you want your sentence to mean that you started to work and is still working with them, then it's better to use present perfect continous tense "I have been working with..."
Also note that your sentence "I have worked with people" is not complete... I don't see it being a practical sentence to use in a normal conversation. Better add an adverb like "I have worked with people before".
