Carnivals

Recent carnivals: Week of May 6

Here is a round up of the three carnivals posts from this blog were featured in. As usual, I have included two articles that I thought will provide value. Have fun.

The Carnival of Economics and Global Trade is hosted at The Forex Reader. Here are the two articles that I recommend reading. What are Mortgage REITs at Suite 101 - Michael Cook looks at the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust (a special non-taxed entity that invests in mortgage products). Will the subprime lending fallout effect Mortgage REITs? 5 Ways To Survive A Volatile Stock Market at The Digerati Life. “If the market dies, so what, I’ll just make up the difference with my consulting income. And that thought was my security blanket; and looking back that strategy turned out pretty well.” Thanks for including our post The Atlantic Gateway Challenge for Atlantic Canada Sagar.

The Personal Development Carnival is hosted at Live The Power. Thinking Through Problem Solving by Erik Milligan is a well written article on communication skills for problem solving. “Start by getting that clear definition of the problem. Think about or discuss how your ideal solution would look and what would happen.” “Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen”, Mr. Besilly quotes John Steinback (1962 Nobel Prize laureate) in this excellent article. “In order to grow any idea, regardless if it’s brilliant or not, it will take an extended investment of time.” Karen, thanks for hosting the wonderful carnival and including our post Business life lesson - conflict resolution.

Carnival of Career Intensity is hosted at Career Intensity. Five proven techniques on  How to get nothing done is a great post by Christine Kane. Anna Farmery at The Engaging Brand blog gives us the Top 5 reasons why you want others to succeed.
