You can make something out of every unfinished story and every rejection if you work at it.
Hear the words of Tomi Adeyemi, teller of tales and weaver of worlds, who declared: “You can make something out of every unfinished story and every rejection if you work at it.” In these words shines the eternal truth that failure is not the end, but the raw material from which new creation is born. For the ashes of defeat may yet kindle the fire of triumph, if only the hand does not cease its labor.
She speaks of the unfinished story, that fragment of thought, that broken attempt which seems abandoned. Yet even such fragments carry seeds of greatness, waiting for the patient spirit to return and reshape them. Nothing born of the heart is wasted; even the abandoned page whispers lessons, guiding the hand to write anew with greater strength.
She names also the sting of rejection, the closing of doors by others, the bitter “no” that meets the hopeful spirit. Yet Adeyemi proclaims that such rejection is not destruction, but redirection. It teaches resilience, it sharpens resolve, it drives the creator deeper into craft. To those who endure, rejection becomes a teacher more faithful than easy success.
The key, she says, is to work at it. For nothing yields fruit without toil. The gift of failure is revealed only to those who continue, who polish, who persist. The world may discard the effort once, twice, a hundred times, yet the steady hand transforms rejection into strength, and the story left unfinished into a masterpiece reborn.
Therefore, O seekers, remember: there is treasure in the broken, and power in what the world refuses. Do not cast aside the unfinished or despair at the rejected. Take them up, labor over them, and watch them bloom. In Adeyemi’s words echoes the wisdom of the ancients—that nothing is wasted for the one who works with faith and perseverance. Would you like me to render this into a parable of the broken tablet, where the discarded fragment becomes the foundation of a greater story?

This quote is a reminder that rejection is not the end, but a chance to reshape and redirect our efforts. Adeyemi’s idea that we can make something of every unfinished story is powerful—life isn’t about avoiding rejection, but about using it as a tool for growth. How often do we miss the opportunity to turn failure into success? How can we train ourselves to embrace these challenges rather than be defeated by them?

Tomi Adeyemi’s words hit home for anyone who’s ever faced rejection or felt like their story wasn’t finished. There’s something empowering about the idea that we can always make something out of what feels incomplete or unfulfilled. How much of our creative process is shaped by rejection? Could our greatest works come from our most difficult setbacks? It’s a powerful reminder that perseverance can transform even the most challenging moments into opportunities.

This quote makes me think about the power of perseverance. When we face unfinished stories or rejections, it’s tempting to walk away, but Adeyemi’s words remind us that persistence can turn those challenges into something meaningful. How often do we give up too soon? What if, instead of retreating after rejection, we embraced it and worked even harder to create something better? The key seems to be in how we approach our setbacks.

I love the optimism in this quote. It suggests that every experience, no matter how negative it may seem, can be transformed into something valuable with persistence. Rejection can sting, but it can also provide the space for growth and creativity. How many of us take the time to reflect and rebuild after a rejection? How can we train ourselves to see setbacks as opportunities for learning and reinvention?

This quote resonates with the idea that rejection isn’t the end, but a new beginning. It’s easy to see rejection as failure, but Adeyemi suggests that it can be the stepping stone to success if we keep working. I wonder how often we stop ourselves after a rejection, not realizing that with effort, we can create something even stronger from it. How can we shift our mindset to see every setback as a lesson?
