Jendral Soedirman
Raden Soedirman (24 January 1916-29 January 1950) was a high-ranking Indonesian military officer during the Indonesian National Revolution. The first commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, he continues to be widely respected in the country.
Soedirman also teached at Muhammadiyah. He taught his students on moralty using examples from the lives of the prophets and traditional wayang stories. One of his students later recalled that Sudirman was an even-handed and patient teacher who would mix humour and nationalism in his lessons; this made him popular with the students.
He married Alfiah, a former schoolmate and the daughter of the rich batik merchant Raden Sastroatmojo, when he returned to Cilacap to teach at Muhammadiyah elemantary school. The couple went on to have three sons, Ahmad Tidarwono, Muhammad Teguh Bambang Tjahjadi, and Taufik Effendi, and four daughters, Didi Praptiastuti, Didi Sutjiati, Didi Pudjiati, and Titi Wahjuti Satyaningrum.
So, What should we learn from Jendral Soedirman?
We must have the spirit to fight all things in our life like Jendral Soedirman. Although he was sick, he led guerrilla war even Mr. Soekarno didn’t allow him.
He has a really big responsibility as a leader. And he ignored his health for the freedom for Indonesian people. He put everyone first before himself. He always said to his soldiers to keep up their spirits and instructed them like there’s nothing happening with himself. We need to put everyone first before ourselves. And we also must have big responsibility as a leader like him.
