This document discusses the difference between the meanings of the words "upcoming" and "up-and-coming". Upcoming means about to take place or occurring soon in the future, while up-and-coming refers to someone who is already successful and promising further success in their career or field. The key difference is that up-and-coming implies someone who is already established but poised for even greater achievements ahead.
