“The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.”

It almost always seems expensive to act with the long term in mind, which is why so few people do it.

The right strategy doesn’t always offer immediate rewards.

The weakest links are at the lowest end of movie budgets. In one case (low-budget horror), there is even a slight negative correlation. This includes movies such as Paranormal Activity and Terrifier, where atmosphere, novelty, or shock value mattered more than tidy story logic. (The connection here is weak, so we shouldn’t over-read this result).
