Have you been a student or a slave? Have you been a follower or a soldier? Have you ever experience one of them? If you do, then, I presume that you know already the difference between someone who teach and someone who command. Yet, in some instances, both seem to be the same.
Someone who teaches is different from someone who commands although both are an “act of giving instruction”. I started my paper with the question have you been a student or a slave and have you been a follower or a soldier. The student can give the meaning of someone who teaches and a slave can give the meaning of someone who commands. The same also goes to the follower and the soldier. Once you are a student you can able to disagree with your teacher. On the other hand once you became a soldier you cannot disagree with your commander, instead you must obey or else there will be a consequences.
In a war, in order to win, great commander must be a good teacher first. It’s the basic. The commander must learn first to be a student, be a teacher and later will be a commander. As a commander it is better to teach rather than to command always. Through your teaching others might be undoubtedly follow you because you have the reason why they must follow you and you should give them the possibilities what would happen if this thing will be followed by a soldier. As what I had read in the book of The Art of War, a commander is greatly appreciated not because of the battles that he won through fighting but rather through a battle in which he won without a need to fight. A commander does not always need to fight in order to win rather he must have the knowledge to win without fighting. A good teacher has always had the knowledge of something especially in his or her own field. The same also must go with th e commander; he or she must have the knowledge in his or her own field.
Someone who knows how to teach know how to foresee what will happen in the future and what will be the possibilities that might happen if something is done. The knowledge of someone who teaches came from his or her own meditation not from ignorance. On the other side, someone who commands, his or her decision came from being ignorant (pride, anger, strong emotion and etc.). People are more appreciated with their decision that came from the calmness of their mind and heart than people that are being impulsive, who thinks that their decision are always right, results only to misunderstanding of both side.
Someone, who teaches, is a teacher and someone, who commands, is a commander in a literal sense and sometimes this is really true in real life. Now, ask now yourself what do you prefer when you grow up, to become a teacher or a commander? It depends on you how you experienced a teacher, who teach, and a commander, who command. For St. Augustine he said “submit to those who teach rather than to those who command. St. Augustine was a teacher, someone who teach not someone who command. He could be biased, since he is a teacher, because he taught to people to submit their self to someone who teaches than to someone who commands. Yet what do you prefer to be a saint or hero? Saints are always good for all while a hero is good only for his or her own townsmen.
