Perfunctory is a word that means in haste or superficially.
Ever reminding us to not be using it for it is a negative term.
Reaching the pinnacle of success is by hard work and not perfunctory.
Usually the term is not used by many people for it doesn't really apply for much of anything.
Casually, the word is used to describe someone who is working in haste.
The gist of the matter is that the ones who work in haste doesn't get much accomplished.
Other than a similar attitude of how they feel.
Rely; upon the right way of working and not in haste or being perfunctory.
Years of time will be amass with a positive attitude if you drop off the use of haste to accomplish a goal.
