Faith ..........!!!?? !!

Faith is unfailing belief. Faith can be very powerful and can greatly influence our attitude.
to put things more effectively , Faith is one component that builds the hue of one's attitude.
If it is to be belived that man shapes his own destiny then ....faith is certainy the most effective tool in his hands.

how is faith built!
Faith takes its root in belief.
a belief that gets strongly rooted in one's heart and mind transforms into Faith.
A poor result or outcome might shatter the belief that one holds on something.
When failures Dont shatter the belief, then , its understood that the belief has metomnorphised into Faith.

Fortunately, a Faith on certain aspects has been instinctively found in all living things!
for instance, Faith on the parents for the fulfilment of basic needs.
The scope of "basic needs" varies immensely amongst across the genre of living organisms!

As in case of Homosapiens, Faith in parents nutures faith in teachers and so on and so froth.
But, there are two 'Faith Factors' that most of us forget or rather pay very less attention to.

One being , Faith on oneself....

Self belief is the strong conviction that one has about wat he is capable of.
Faith is unfailing self belief. this is one unique quality that will help him bounce back out of the most clumsiest and demading or rather even most degrading situations.
Self Faith is the only tool that will help him out of the situation for in this world no help is as reliable as self help.

Second being, Faith on the Almighty.............

This is the most controversial topics that the discussion forums have.
to belive or not to belive is another issue.. but to totally negate the power of Supreme seems to be the fashion today.
though i belive its totally unethical to intrude into anyone's personal choices..(the choice of Faith on Almighty included).. i m left to wonder as wat makes them lose the belief or abstain from the belief!

I believe in myself and therefore in god. Personality types are possible explanations for lack of or excessive faith in things...INFJ, ESFJ, etc...

Your post is not consistent. You have interchanged faith and belief in lot of places. define faith and define belief.

when you say Faith takes its root in belief, I can say, Belief takes root in faith.

Faith is a positive word. Belief is a common word. You dont have faith that some thing will fail (negative). But you can belive some thing will fail. You have faith that you may succeed (positive). you can also believe that you will suceed.

A poor result or outcome might shatter...

When you have belief or faith it cannot shatter. Only when you expect some thing it would shatter. When you believe/have faith on something without expectation, it is not going to shatter. While when you mix expectation with belief/fatith it, when the expectation is not met you reassess your confidence level which turns into faith/belief. Both faith /belief depends on confidence level.
