About The Last Point The

 About The Last Point The




 a word about the last point the President Reagan made there Lawrence I think about whenever I see the O

lympics the Italians look like the Italians the Ethiopians looked like the Ethiopians the Americans look like everyb

ody same point same point yeah I served as an assistant attorney general with a great great pleasure under President Reaga

n I served him for seven years now today he's saying that what the Department of Justice committed to yesterday

based on a Supreme Court ruling has no effect because he's tweeting otherwise he's basically saying there is no law he's left

any pretense of observing the rule of law he's saying I the president and the law and we're getting pretty far down r

ohde of what what I would call the death throes of democracy if you look at ancient Rome you know the the gener

als would go have a triumph in Britannia in Germania they'd come back and have a big a big try of a par

ade called the triumph in Rome at least they paid for them themselves even Julius Caesar did that he might have had to borro

w the money from Crassus but he paid for it and that's bread and circuses and that's the road the president seems to want t

o take us down a governor he just made a bunch of references that Donald Trump's not going to understand so I have to bring it down for him if you're trying to get throu

gh to him but I do want to get your reaction to what what we saw in the Justice Department today this is an extraordinary moment where a federal judge is saying to just a

Scared That They Think

Scared That They Think



 are scared that they think I will get divorced. What is going to happen to me? Why me? Why Am I alive? We all try to chase this tunnel. We all do this. Because we see

lights at the end of the tunnel which keeps us going. My dear friends, in my situation, there was a tunnel that I had to

oll on but there was no light. And that is where I realized the words have the power to heal the soul. My mother said to me th

at this two sell-pass. God has a greater plan for you. I don’t know what it is. But he surely has. And all in that distress and grief, mom’s those words were so magical that th

ey kept me going. I was trying to put my smile on my face all the time hiding the pain. It was so hard to hide the pain which

was there. But all I knew was that I will give up, my mother and brother will give up too. I cannot see them crying with me. So what kept me going was one day I asked

 my brother, I know, I have a deformed hand but I am tired of looking at these white walls in the hospital and wearing this white scraps. I am getting tired of this. I wan

t to add more colors to my life. I want to do something. Bring me some colors, I want to paint. so the very first painting I made was on my deathbed. It was not just

an art piece or not just my passion. It was my therapy. What an amazing therapy it was. without saying a single word,

I could paint my heart out. I could share my story. People used to come and say, ‘wow, what a lovely painting’. so much color, nobody sees the grief in it. Only I could

. So that’s how I spend my two and a half months in the hospital. Lying, never

 complaining or whining but painting. And then I was discharged. And I went back home. and I realized that I have developed a lot of pressure ulcers on my back,

n my hipbone. I was unable to sit. There were a lot of infections all over my body, a lot of allergies. So Doctor wanted

me to lie down on the bed straight. For not six months, for not 1 year, but for two years I was bedridden confined in that

one room looking outside the window listening to the birds chirping and thinking there will be a time when we will be going out with the family and enjoying the nature.

hat was the time, where I realized how lucky people are but they don’t realize. That is the time where I realized, the d

ay I going to sit, I am going to share this pain to make them realize how blessed they are and they even don’t consider them lucky. There are always turning points in you

r life. There was a rebirthday that I celebrated. After two years and two and a half months when I was able to sit in a wheelchair. That was the day where I had the

 rebirth. I was a completely different person. I still remember the day I sat on the wheelchair first time knowing that I am never going to live this, knowing that I am ne

r going to walk for the rest of my life. I saw myself in the mirror. and I talked to my self. And I still remember what I said. I cannot wait for a miracle to come and make me walk. I cannot sit in the corner o

f the room crying, cripping and begging mercy because nobody has time. So, I have to accept my self, the way I

 am, the sooner the better. So, I applied the lip color for the first time. And I erased it. and I cried and I said what am I doin

g. A person on a wheelchair should not do this. What will people say? Clean it up. Put it back again. This time I put it to myself. Because I want to feel perfect from within. A

nd that day I decided I am going to a life of myself. I am not going to be that perfect person for someone. I am just going to take this

moment and I will make it perfect for myself. And do you know, how we all begin? That day I decided, I am going to fight m

y fears. We all have fears. Fear of the unknown, fear of known. Fear of losing people. Fear of losing health, money. We

 want to excel in a career. We want to become famous. We want to get money. We are scared all the time. so I wrote down one

 by one, all those fears. And I decided I am going to overcome those fears one at a time. You know what was my biggest fear. Divorce. I couldn’t stand this word. I was

trying to cling on this person who didn’t want me anymore. But I said no, I have to make it work. But the day I decided that this is nothing but my fear. I liberated myself

y setting him free. And I made myself emotionally so strong that the day I got news that he is getting married, I sen

t him a text and said, ‘I am so happy for you’ and wanna wish you all the best. And he knows that I pray for him tod

ay. My biggest fear number two was I won’t be able to be a mother again and that was quite

Devastating For Me

Devastating For Me



  devastating for me. But then I realize, there are so many children in the world, all they want is the acceptance. So ther

e is no point of crying, just go and adopt one. That’s what I did. I gave my name to different organizations, different orpha

nages. I didn’t mention, I am on the wheelchair, dying to have a child. so I told then this is Muniba Mazari and she wants to adopt, boy-girl what so ever. But I want

to adopt and I waited patiently. Two years later, I got this call from a very small city in Pakistan. They said, ‘Are you M

uniba Mazari’. There is a baby boy. Would you like to adopt? And When I said ‘Yes’, I could literally feel the labor pain. Yes Yes, I am going to adopt him. I am coming to

 take him home. And when I reached there, the man was sitting there and he was looking at me from head to toe. Don’t judge me, I am in a wheelchair. You know what he

 said, ‘I know you will be the best mother of this child. You both will be lucky to have each other’. And that day, he was two days old and today he is six. You will be su

rprised to know the bigger fear that I had in me. It was facing people. I used to hide from people. When I was in bed for two years and I used to keep the doors clos

. I used to pretend that I am not going to meet anyone. Tell them I am sleeping. You know why? Because I couldn’t stand that sympathy that they had for me. They

used to treat me like a patient. When I used to smile, look at me and said, ‘You are smiling, are you OK’. I was tired of this

Question Being Asked

Question Being Asked



 question being asked. Are you sick? Well, a lady at the airport asked me, ‘Are you sick’. And I said, well, besides this spinal cord injury, I am fine. I guess. Those were r

eally cute questions. They never used to feel cute when I was on the bed. so I used to hide from people knowing that Oh my god I am not going to see that sympathy on t

heir eyes. It’s all right. Today, I am here speaking to all these amazing people. Because I have overcome the fear. You

ow when you ended up being in the wheelchair, what’s the most painful thing? That’s another fear. People on the wheelchair, who are differently able to ha

ve their hearts but they never share. I will share that with you. The lack of acceptance. People think that they will no

be accepted by the people because we and the world of perfect people are imperfects. So, I decided instead of starting an

 INGO, NGO for disabilities awareness which I know will not help anyone, I started to appear more in public. I started to

aint. I always wanted to. I have a lot of exhibitions for Pakistan, I have done a lot of modeling campaign, differen

t campaign for brands like tony and guy. I have done some really funny breaking the barriers kinds of modelings. There was

this one by the name clown town where I became a clown because I know that clowns have a heart too. So, when you

 accept yourself, the way you are, the world recognizes you. It all starts from within. I became the national goodwill ambassador of UN women, Pakistan. And now I speak for the rights of women and

 children. We talk about inclusion, diversity, gender equality which is a must. I was featured in BBC 100 women for 2015.

ne of the Forbes 30 under 30 for 2016. And it all didn’t happen alone. You all ar

e thriving in your careers. You have bigger dreams and aspirations in life. Always remember one thing, on the r

oad to success there is always ‘We’ not ‘Me’. Do not think that you alone can achieve things. No, there is always another person, who is standing behind you, maybe

not coming on the forefront, behind you, supporting you. Never lose that person. Never. No matter how much I say

hat I couldn’t find a hero. so I became one. I still want to recognize those three people in my life who literally changed my life completely and I get inspiration from th

em every single day. The women who believe in me even when I was completely on the verge of dis-pare where everybody left, she was there. And every time, I looked at her saying. She used to look at

me and said, it’s too sell pass. God has a bigger plan. One day you will say that Oh my God, that is why God has chosen me. She never cried in front of me. She always said that there will be haters, there will be nays

ers, there will be disbelievers and there will be you to proving them wrong. My mother. Whatever I am today, I am

 nothing without her. I am nothing without her. Thank you, mama, I wish you were here. Thank you for making me, who I am today. You know, what we human bei

ng have a problem. We always expect each from lives. We have this amazing fantasy about life. This is how things should work. This is my plan. It should go as per my plan. If that
