There was a king and the king was walking with his minister one day and in the farm he saw a farmer along with his family-husband, wife and son .They were buzzing ,so much life in them ;their faces were radiant, they were happy, they were beaming with joy. They were singing. They had so much affection and love for each other. And the king said, "Man, I have a massive palace and i have everything that one could dream for and these guys are more happier than me . Why?
Minister said , sir because this family is not the member of the 99 club. So the king said what is 99 club? Minister said give me 99 gold coins , i will tell you . So the king gave him a bag of 99 gold coins and minister said after 6 month i will tell you , not today. So the minister took that bag of 99 gold coins and put it right at the doorstep of the farmer .
In the morning when the farmer got up, he saw a bag at his doorstep. He picked the bag up and went back into his house, excited as he was , he opened the bag and Gosh . Lo and Behold . Glittering gold . Gold coins , he never come across such a stroke of good fortune . He emptied the content bag and started counting. They were 99 . He said i made a mistake in counting , let me count again. He counted again, 99. He said who is that idiot, who forgot to put one more, he should have made it a round figure , why 99? So he called his wife you count, so she counted ..99...Next he called his son, you count..still 99..
He said, God we cant live like this...We have to make this 100. So he started working hard to get that one gold coin and it would take him months and years to get one. And the wife was thinking , My husband is such a nut,We have 99 gold coins and this guy doesnt spend anything .
So she took two gold coins and went for shopping . So everyday the guy would come and in the evening he would count the gold coins . So that day he come and counted the gold coin... Only 97, initially only one coin was less now two have gone. So he shouted , "Where did the two gold coins go?" She said, Well i am not a nut like you, I thought i will do some shopping so i went and spent the two gold coins .
Oh god , the farmer yelled, I am toiling working hard, putting my blood and sweat to get that one gold coin and you nuts , you are going and spending these 2 gold coins away? Meanwhile the son spent two more , 95 left.
6 months passed by and the king and the minister were walking by and the buzz had gone , the life had gone , the song had gone , the love had gone , only arguments , fights , bickering . And the king said what happened ?How did they change so much in just 6 months? The minister said " Now they are officially members of the 99 club." The king said man you took the 99 gold coins , what is the 99 club? The minister said , 99 club is a club of those who have 99 gold coins , but in running after the one , they dont use the 99 gold coins . In running behind the one coin , in trying to reach the 100, whats the point if we forget to utilise the 99 ? I have learned one thing in my life , and i thoroughly believe in it -
Dont wait for the destination , start finding happiness while you are on the journey . Dont postpone your happiness to then . TODAY I MAY HAVE THE GREATEST CHALLENGE , THAT DOESNT MEAN I SHOULD POSTPONE MY SATISFACTION.

THANK YOU
