ぼくが数字で満足することはあり得ません。なぜなら、数字が内容を反映しているとは限らないからです。目標を設定してそこに到達すれば、そこで満足してしまって先へ進む努力をしなくなるでしょう。毎打席何かしら学ぶべきこと、改良すべきことがあります。満足は、求めることの中にあるんです。 - イチロー［鈴木一朗］ (1973 - ): 『イチローUSA語録』（デイヴィッド・シールズ (1956 - )編）

I cannot be satisfied with a number, because it may not reflect how you did. If you set a goal, achieving it may satisfy you and you won't try to go beyond that goal. Every at-bat, there's something to learn from, something to improve. It's in the seeking that you find satisfaction. - Ichiro Suzuki (1973 - ): BASEBALL IS JUST BASEBALL - THE UNDERSTATED ICHIRO (edited by David Shields (1956 - ))
