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".

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.
