Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the great philosopher and former President of India, made his first visit to the United States of America when John F. Kennedy was the president. The weather was dark and stormy in Washington; and when Dr. Radhakrishnan alighted from the plane, it begins to rain cats and dogs, as the expression goes.
The young American President greeted his Indian counterpart with a warm handshake and a smile. “I’m so sorry we have such bad weather during your visit, “ he remarked courteously.
The philosopher – statement smiled. “We can’t change bad things, Mr .president,” he observed. ”but we can change our Attitude towards them.”
