“I tried it!” is what makes me happiest — The moment the baton of knowledge is passed on —

Hello! I’m writing this in a hurry today.
Because something happened that made me so happy!

When I introduce a book, I want people to read it,
when I show how to use a new tool, I want people to try it,
and when I say, “It’s written in detail here,” I want to be told, “I looked it up!”

Do you understand this feeling?

A morning that made me smile

This morning, I saw a notification on my smartphone and couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

I received a message from someone who actually tried the paid article(an AI-powered article creation template) I wrote the other day. A person named Yona-san used my template to write a wonderful article.

What’s more, they applied the cooking article template to a completely different genre: “Investing x Monster Hunter x Comedy”! If I hadn't been on the train commuting, I would have jumped for joy!

The baton was truly passed on

The article by Yona-san (@Yona🎈New NISA Beginner’s Asset Building) is titled “Let’s go hunting! A new frontier where the world of investing is expressed through slapstick comedy is born here!” (I introduced it as a practical record in my paid article.)

I was reading it on the train and couldn't help but grin. The idea of a Palico-style character named “Konyange” explaining investing was brilliant, and seeing the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 described as “Market Flying Wyverns (Big Monsters)” made me exclaim, “Oh!”

And when I was so happy that I introduced the article, I immediately received a thank-you message! This “cycle” makes me so happy that I’m writing this article now. With a coffee cup in one hand, grinning from the morning.

The chain of “I tried it!” felt at work as well

Actually, the other day, I had a similar experience with an article I wrote about using AI in the workplace. The joy I felt when one colleague took the step to say, “Let’s try it,” regarding an AI usage method that no one else was interested in. I was so happy that I even did something I don’t usually do: created a thumbnail in Canva.

On note, I’ve started getting likes, but in my company’s outreach activities, I had 40 articles with zero “likes” or “comments”—a complete lack of response. (The zero streak continues even now... I really appreciate the gentle world of note.)

Even though the content is more practical than note and is of paid-level quality every time... That’s exactly why I was so happy when someone said, “I want to try GAS.”

Taking that first step requires real courage. But I think the moment someone says, “I tried it!” is the greatest joy of sharing knowledge.

Small tricks to accelerate “I tried it!”

I myself am the type who basically tries things immediately when someone teaches me a useful method.

If a book is recommended, I buy it right away, and if a new tool is introduced, I try it immediately. Because I want them to teach me again. I don’t want them to think, “This person has no reaction.” And above all, I believe that true learning comes from practice.

I also tend to have conversations like, “There’s this method!” or “Isn’t this way amazing?” but since I’m happy when I get a reaction, I try to give feedback as much as possible when I’m taught something.

The circle of 'I tried it!' that connects note and the workplace

'Sharing information → Someone puts it into practice → That person shares something new'

Don't you think this cycle is the best moment, whether you're writing on social media, note, or working in an office?

Especially in the age of AI, the internet is overflowing with mere information. But the experience of someone actually trying it out has an irreplaceable value. And even if it doesn't go well, there is value in sharing it.

Yona-san's article mentioned, I have a total of about 7,000 hours of Monster Hunter playtime. It was precisely because of that experience that the article was so original. It was the moment when the template I provided and Yona-san's experiential knowledge combined to create entirely new value.

I couldn't help but pump my fist in front of my monitor.

I want you all to share your 'I tried it!' moments too

Perhaps you, who read this article, might also think,
Maybe I'll try putting something into practice.

・Try someone else's method
・Give shape to what you've learned
・Share that experience

And just imagining that your 'I tried it!' might move someone else's heart... it makes me excited.

Teaching → Being put into practice → Receiving feedback → Teaching more

This feeling of the baton of knowledge being passed on might be the greatest joy as a creator. I'm waiting for your 'I tried it!' next!

As I brew a fresh cup of coffee, I'm imagining what kind of 'I tried it!' will be born next. May that circle continue to grow and grow.
