The 99 Club ...

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle,
was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while
he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the
Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy in his
heart?

The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?"

The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my
family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food
to
fill our tummies."

Later in the day, the King sought the advice of his most trusted
advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's story, the advisor
said,
"Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99
Club."


"The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired.

The advisor replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club
is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep."

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he
opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... so many gold coins!

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last
convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, "What could've happened to
that last
gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!" He looked everywhere he
could,
but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was
going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete
his
collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked,
horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that
100th gold
coin. H e stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he
sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, the servant has
now officially joined The 99 Club."

He continued, "The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have
enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning
and
striving for that extra 1 to round it out to 100!

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute
we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our
sleep,
our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our
growing needs and desires. That's what joining The 99 Club is all about."

Hope We all will not become part of the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day............
