Once upon a time, there lived a King who was not happy at all.
One day, he saw a servant who was singing happily while he worked.
The King asked the servant, ‘Why are you so happy?’
‘Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don’t need too much'
After hearing the story from king, the advisor said, ‘Your Majesty, the servant has not yet joined “The 99 Club”.’
And what is that?’ the King enquired.
The advisor replied, ‘just place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant’s doorstep.’
When the servant saw the bag, he let out a great shout of joy… so many gold coins. He began to count them.
He wondered, ‘What could’ve happened? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!’
Finally, he decided to earn that 100th gold coin.
From that day, the servant was a changed man. He was overworked, grumpy, and blamed his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin.
And he had stopped singing while he worked.
King was puzzled. The advisor said, Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.
The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never content, because they’re always wanting that extra 1, saying to themselves: Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.
