It's a great tribute and it mirrors most of the stuff i read here about giving good birthday speeches. It was a speech by Mark Twain. See the link https://standingovationweddingspeeches.typepad.com/standing-ovation-wedding/2021/09/birthday-speech-or-toast-for-myself-.html

Well, At the first reading, i kept asking myself if i am reading a good piece. But then the lessons learned and talked about really opened my eyes to how blessed you are. Thanks for sharing it
