A hot shot

أنجليزي إلى عربي الفن/الأدب التعبيرات الاصطلاحية \ الأمثال \ الأقوال المأثورة
A hot shot is a person -- often a young person -- who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.

A hot shot is a slang term that needs to be translated in the same way. The terms suggested by Nadia and Eid is great, but it is not slang ones.
