Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was a prolific Irish writer who wrote plays, fiction, essays, and poetry. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.

Well, here is a guy who is actually living proof of his own quote.
<br><h5><center>_"Success is a science;
if you have the conditions,
you get the result."_</center></h5><br>

He had the right conditions for much of his life.

He was a famed writer and a very successful playwright.

If you don't know the basics of his life story, I encourage you to at least read what Wikipedia has to say from the link above.

Well, the short version is this:

He led a charmed life, graduating from an Ivy league college, going on to be quite a successful writer.

Then he experienced for him what ultimately seemed to seal his fate.

He was arrested and sentenced to 2 years hard labor.

Now, I don't know the details of the arrest, and frankly for this example, it's not necessary to.

What I do know about it is very simple.

He was changed drastically and he never recovered from the experience.

He died early and destitute, only writing a couple more times after his release.

It's strange because @mrviquez, @ty2nicerva and I were discussing this very issue the other day.

How an experience like jail can drastically affect some and barely phase others.

A different era, but I think this matches a point @mrviquez was making pretty well.

That the easier a life you have had, the more drastic this type of thing will affect you.

A very true statement indeed.

Alright, so the point I'm making here is this:

That success really is science.

Oscar Wilde had all the right conditions for success early in life.

After facing a great tragedy for him he lost those conditions, he fell of the horse so to speak.

When those conditions went away, so did his success.

Were those conditions family, upbringing, money and a pampered life?

In part.

However the most important part of those conditions was how he felt about himself and the world around him.

Think about it, when he was released he was still a famed writer, his family and upbringing were the same, nothing took away the fact that he graduated from Oxford.

What changed for him was very simple, his perception.

He clearly began looking at life through tinted lenses.

After facing that hardship, he was no longer looking at life as if it were easy, instead now seeing more hardship than anything.

Any of you that have been to jail or prison know that it is no picnic.

However, you are the one decides how you perceive the world after that.

Society as a whole will lead you to believe that jail and prison are there for reform, however I would argue a different point.

I believe their main function to be what we just discussed in Oscar's case.

It's really only a small group that ever "reform", and this could easily be seen in most cases as "conforming" anyway.

What really happens in there is something quite different.

When all normal stimulation is severed, and all you have around you is pictures of oppression, fear, hatred contempt and disdain, it is far to easy to begin to fall in line.

To feel and express these feelings as well.

I beg you, if you have any inner strength left at all, never believe that this was an accident, or it just happens as an unplanned result of consequence.

It was designed to push you into creating a negative perception in whatever way that expresses itself in your individual life.

The strangest secret is what?

<h3><center>You get what you think about most of the time.</center></h3>

Knowing this, it's easy to see that what jail or prison does to a person is no accident.

Ok look, maybe you've never been to jail or prison.

Maybe your prison is in your mind.

Maybe you are faced with oppression or extreme hardship day in and day out.

That will never, for one second on this green earth, mean that your fate is sealed!

Your fate is exactly what you say it is!

If you are stuck in the darkest pit with seemingly no way out even...

You find that crack, that pinhole that light sneaks in.
<center>![crack of light open door glimmer of hope.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVioYDgi5oQomZo8ve7GZAmPFpXsKnPU39GidEwESvEJY/crack%20of%20light%20open%20door%20glimmer%20of%20hope.jpg)

If it isn't there, you create it!!

Admire it!

Revel in it!

Praise it and show it your gratitude for being there!

In whatever way you can, focus only on it.

Because the more you do, the larger that crack will grow!

The wider that crack of light will open!

Before you know it, you will escape that pit, stronger than ever before!

Ready to overcome any challenge because you now will know what conditions need to be present in order to succeed!

You will now understand the science of success.

Remember,
<br><h5><center>_"Success is a science;
if you have the conditions,
you get the result."_</center></h5><br>
