     "Those who know how, work for those who know why" is a very interesting quote, it can be interpreted many different way and there is no one answer.  But  I am at a point in life where education is very important. and this quote reminds me of a teacher and student relationship.  Teachers know how to teach, and the student knows why the teacher is teaching them. 
     Teachers obtain the knowledge of how to teach students to maximize their learning potential.  A teacher also knows how to make learning fun and at the same time stimulates the brain to a higher learning level.  According to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards there are 5 things a teacher should know and be able to do.

1. Teachers are committed to students and their learning 
2. Teachers know the subject they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.
3. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.
4. Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experiences. 
5. Teacher are members of the learning communities. link one

     Students know why the teachers are working, they are working to teach them.  Teachers are working to help the students to accomplish a goal the student has set for themselves.  Students know the reason why teachers are teaching them everyday, teaching them about academics, study habits, being productive, work to set goals and accomplish those goals.  A part of why teachers are teaching us also comes from us having to pay for our school, so we expect to teachers to teach us.  Tuition is a part of education, we pay for what we want and tuition is a big part the puzzle. 
     Considering the opposite direction, like I stated before this quote is interesting especially the second part of the quote, "work for those who know why".  Growing up we did not know how to work but we worked for those who did know why.  We worked for those who knew why we needed to develope good work ethics, and why we needed to finish what we started.  Because we worked for those who  knew why, it caused us to develope into "those who know how".  Now we know how to finish what we start and we make this quote true, "Those who know how, work for those who know why".
     In conclusion, there are many different ways to interpret this quote "those who know how, work for those who know why", but for me I feel that teachers go to school to learn to teach us as students and we know why they are teaching us.
