Prodigy
When I was a much younger person than I am now, I think my ambition in life was to be a prodigy. This term usually has the word "child" saddled in front, which shouldn't happen, as the word prodigy implies child within its definition. Anyhow, my ambition was going well until the day I realised I was no longer a child. This fact, as you will note, was a major stumbling block. Having no other choice but to alter my future plans, I decided to become prodigious - at least textually speaking. I think I'm doing well. Thankfully, quality doesn't count.
