 Robert M. Thompson Ivy House Publishing Group From A Press Release Book Description Healthcare. The war in Iraq. Immigration. Just a few of the major issues at the forefront of American voters' minds this year. As candidates diligently campaign across the nation, Americans feel the urgency to form opinions about these issues. But is casting a meaningful vote merely as simple as getting informed and choosing a side? Robert M. Thompson doesn't think so. Thompson, a Durham, N.C. resident and author, insists answering the call of one's civic duty involves just a little bit more than possessing knowledge, common sense or intelligence. Thompson insists wisdom-a noble virtue that enriches a person's character-is key to casting a vote that will benefit the greater good. Wisdom, Apples, & Black Roses is Thompson's real world, how-to guide to becoming a wise person. Based on years of Thompson's academic, occupational and educational experiences, the book defines the true meaning of the word wisdom and offers techniques for how the reader can seek wisdom on his own. Thompson contends that his book will bring a newfound sense of importance to voting and the political process because, "It is an appeal to voters to follow the wise, who vote responsibly and without prejudice." Thompson points out that the book would be particularly valuable to recent and rising high school graduates, who are new to the voting process. About the Author: In addition to a long career in the water treatment industry, Robert M. Thompson operated his own business as an accountant for many years. He also conducted small business management courses for adults. It was through interaction with his students and clients that Thompson discovered there are always people who excel and others who lag behind. Thompson decided the difference was wisdom. He decided to write Wisdom, Apples, & Black Roses after finding a lack of literature detailing the value of wisdom to personal success.
