Answer:

It means if there is something you can do to solve a problem, do it instead of complaining.

Explanation:

  • This quote is from Achebe's book "Things fall apart".
  • It talks about how we are the only people who totally understand ourselves. We, as individuals, are the only people who know our story completely
  • Every one else has seen just a figment of our personality, and just a few figments is not enough to tell our story.
  • So, we need to step up and be the tellers of our own story. Do something about it.

Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of  the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.

For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.

In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."
