who knows where this quote is originated from:

"If you love someone, Set her free…
If she comes back, she’s yours,
If she doesn’t, she never was…."

Why do I always remember that it is from a Brad Pit movie? or did that happened in my dream which brad pit loves me? XD (j/k i never dreamed of that!)

As i search on the Internet for answers, I found many people (see here, here, & here) posting the "new versions" of this quote. Some "new versions" i like, just for some giggles:

Shakespeare:
if you love someone, Set her free ….
If she ever comes back, she’s yours.
If she doesn’t, here’s the poison, suicide yourself for her.

Optimist:
If you love someone, Set her free ….
Don’t worry, she will come back.

Suspicious:
If you love someone, Set her free ….
If she ever comes back, ask her why.

Patient:
IF you love someone, Set her free ….
If she doesn’t come back, continue to wait until she comes back.

Marketing Specialist :
If you love someone, set her free
If she comes back she has brand loyalty
If she doesn’t, reposition the brand in new market

Bill Gates:
If you love someone, Set her free …
If she comes back, I think we can charge her for re-installation fees
But tell her that she’s also going to get an upgrade

HR Specialist:
If you love someone, Set her free by Offering her VRS and other benefits …
Then outsource her

Please allow me to introduce two new terms to the MBA lexicon: shing and MPAWS.

Shing [verb, etymology: shit, ding]: to be denied admission at all schools applied during a particular year. If 3app doesn’t get into INSEAD, he’d be shinged for the 3rd time.

MPAWS
[acronym, pronounced '-em'pause', not to be confused with menopause]:
stands for MBA Post-Application Waiting Syndrome. Term used to
designate the idiosyncratic behaviors of MBA applicants during the
admission decision period (ADP). Preliminary research has uncovered
seven documented cases of MPAWS:

The Arrogant:
overconfident during the ADP. First to post his impressive stats. Vents
when he finds out that some have received interviews and he hasn’t.
When he gets dinged by his dream school, rants on the BW Forum that
it’s their loss and that he won’t donate his future billions of dollars
to them.

The Coaster: confident during the ADP.
Usually works for a management consultancy or an investment bank, and
has a GMAT score over 750 and GPA over 3.7 from an Ivy League school.
Applies only to Harvard, Stanford and Wharton and is admitted to all 3
schools. Pretends to be a female on the BW Forum and gets a kick out of
it.

The Frantic: over-reacts during the ADP.
Reads all threads and MBA blogs on a daily basis. Tends to be the first
one to ask whether someone has received an interview and tries to
figure out whether there is a correlation between the submission date
and the interview date. Insists on finding stats of other applicants.
Frequently seeks advice from the Ask Sandy and Accepted threads.
Re-reads his or her essays a few times during the ADP.

The Mute:
silent on the BW Forum during the entire ADP, but upon acceptance
writes his first post. Thinks that ADCOM are trying to match the
profiles of applicants with posters on the BW Forum.

The Over-Achiever:
asks inane questions during the ADP but still gets into the school of
his choice. Extremely gullible. Gifted in technical areas yet clueless
in performing mundane tasks. Known to ask if he can exceed the word
limit by 5 words, if 1.5 lines can be considered as double-spaced, and
if getting an interview is a good sign.

The Touchy-Feely:
seeks emotional support during the ADP. Tends to bond with The Frantics
and The Over-Achievers. Always writes words of encouragement on the BW
Forum and on blogs. Likes to please others. When accepted, posts on the
BW Forum that he can’t believe he got in and that such school is his
dream school.

The Comedian: tries to write funny material on his blog, but doesn’t realize that no one is reading it.
