Dynamite Youth Center
THE DYNAMITE PHILOSOPHY
The Dynamite Philosophy is that every man makes his own destiny, and that he can shape his destiny by having convictions, positive values, and self-respect.
I, as an individual, must be prepared to meet my own weaknesses and overcome them. In order to overcome them, I must be aware. In order to be aware, I must communicate. In order to communicate, I must trust.
To achieve these goals, I must be honest with myself. In being honest with myself, I gain maturity and responsibility. By obtaining this, I find myself reborn to a constant betterment of my life.
