Why I Love My Articles and the Importance of Apologizing Immediately in Case of a Scandal

What a confusing title. But that is to be expected. I decided on this title while I was in the middle of writing the article.

The initial title was "People Who Can Write Many Articles Love Their Own Articles," which, if taken in the wrong direction, could have easily caused a bit of a stir. No, I don't actually want to cause a stir, but I truly feel that way.

I apologize for suddenly talking about myself, but one of the things I realized after starting note is that I actually quite like myself. That is why I wrote "People Who Can Write Many Articles Love Their Own Articles" as the title.

Yes, this title is not written for a third party, but for myself. Simply put, it is a self-satisfying note.

I look back at the notes I have written in the past quite often. Now that my followers have increased and several people have purchased my paid articles, I think the views from others have gradually increased, but I can still assert that about 20% of those views are me.

I am not peeking at them to try and trick the note algorithm (that is a lie. Maybe 10% of it is).

The reason I frequently look back at my note articles is to know what kind of reflection I should make in order to make the next article even more refined.

Behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman advocates for the "Peak-End Rule." It is an explanation that the impression of an experience is valued overall by the "peak," where emotions are at their highest, and the "end," the final impression.

For example, when a celebrity causes a scandal, if they apologize or admit their mistake immediately the next day or shortly after (peak) rather than dragging out the excuses, they can sometimes get through it without making their impression too bad in subsequent press conferences (end). I believe Kuruma Takahira from Reiwa Roman utilized this well.

When he caused a scandal, he uploaded an apology video to YouTube that day or the next, and was able to get through it without causing the public's impression of him to drop significantly.

Conversely, the person who dragged this out was Ken Watabe from Unjash. Explaining it is a hassle, so if you don't know, please search for "Watabe scandal."

I have digressed, but I think the peak and end of a story are very important for note articles as well.

By the way, there are two reasons why I do note.

The first is to let everyone know about exam study and exam know-how as a sign language interpreter.

The second is to write articles that make everyone chuckle.

If you are going to take the time to look at my articles, I want you to laugh. To do that, I need to be able to laugh at them myself in the first place. Therefore, the biggest reader of my articles is me, and the biggest critic of my articles is also me. I am working out various concepts and thinking about what kind of content to include.

If you like, I would like you to read my past articles and look back at the parts where you chuckled.
There should be ways of speaking that use the Peak-End Rule scattered throughout them.

Well, having written this much, I cannot think of a good punchline for this article at all. I probably managed to create a peak (?), but the end is lacking.

I will probably look back at this article many times and use it for reflection on my next article.
