How Do I Start an Impressive Project if I Don’t Have an Impressive Interest?

I've never met anyone that said 'Yeah, I won a spelling bee in the 3rd grade, so I decided to be a language teacher.' It doesn't work like that. They won the spelling bee because they cared enough to be the best. Sure, you can start a whiz-bang new project that everyone will notice. But if you don't -care- about it, you won't get it to the point that it's worth using in a real live scenario. And let's be honest: It's not really impressive if it's not usable.
