Another Sunday reflection

It has been a very busy week with many decisions to be made and  plenty of things to be carried out. However, it was a difficult week full of confusion and frustration triggered by jobs that needed to be done yet could not be started, actions needed to be taken yet could not be carried out despite all the correct procedures being followed. Amidst this feeling of helplessness probably due to personal nature of taking things too seriously and too critically, as well as being unable to think of a proper cause of this miserable predicament, I turned to page 21 of today's Sunday Star to read the article 'Risky venture for promoters'  by Mr Wong Chun Wai. Unexpectedly, some words in the article popped out like the special effect of  a 3-D film to help me to answer my mystery of the week. Not that these words can make me happier but at least I can laugh to myself sadly. These words can be found in the following partial sentences. I guess it is not too difficult to guess which are the words I meant. However, it is more difficult to know what the real issues are that prompted me to write this article. I know I am not being too clear cut but then after so much of exposure to things that are not too clear cut, how can I possibly not being infected?  I am not going to write about the issues here (thousand of apologies) but if you were to ask me personally, I may tell you. So where are the words? Patient, the two partial sentences are:
  1. ......when..... get carried away in imposing their prejudices and jaundiced view of things.
  2. Flip-flop moves, indecisiveness, fickle-mindedness and incompetency.....
Thank you Mr Wong Chun Wai for helping me to solve this puzzle of finding the correct description. I hope next week you will be able to provide me with some more appropriate words to describe the week that will start tomorrow.
