As you may have guessed, I am Asian and yes my father really did give me the middle name of Stanford. My sister's middle name is Princeton. Ambitious to say the least, he nevertheless professed to be nonplussed when neither of his offspring applied (and thus not accepted) to their eponymous institutions.

I was born in Southern California, traveled up and did a stint of toddler and childhood in the Northern California-Cupertino area and then traveled back down to Los Angeles and Orange County for a residency specializing in "Teenager Studies" (A program from which I graduated with such belt-busting success that they promoted me into a special department called "The Twenties"). I then attended the University of California, Berkeley, where I st

Quotes by Jonathan Stanford Yu  (?)

“Large retail banks that take in deposits from everyday folks have to pay interest on those deposits, especially if they are held in savings accounts that yield some amount of interest. Often times these banks would fund these payments through the interest revenue that they collect on mortgages, credit cards, and small business loans that they make to customers.”
Jonathan Stanford Yu, From Zero to Sixty on Hedge Funds and Private Equity 2.0: What They Do, How They Do It, and Why They Do The Mysterious Things They Do

“Warren Buffett complains about it every year; it is a lot harder to manage billions than millions. The investable market is much smaller.”
Jonathan Stanford Yu, From Zero to Sixty on Hedge Funds and Private Equity 2.0: What They Do, How They Do It, and Why They Do The Mysterious Things They Do

“A portion of China’s sovereign wealth fund - named China Investment Corporation, Ltd - has been used to invest in China’s state-owned banks, African infrastructure ventures, and other foreign resources.”
Jonathan Stanford Yu, From Zero to Sixty on Hedge Funds and Private Equity 2.0: What They Do, How They Do It, and Why They Do The Mysterious Things They Do

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
Bob Marley

“Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.”
A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh.
"I wish I were there to be doing it, too.”
A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold your life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time”
Hannah Arendt, Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewess

“There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking it-self is dangerous.”
Hannah Arendt
