Water-like

On our planet exist innumerable creatures and diversified materials, among which water is called the source of life. Without water, most species, including human beings, would die out. Actually water is itself very special, as its shape and appearance are variable all through the world.

 

In order to cope with the frigid temperatures, water changes into two kinds of forms that are not only well blended in winter, but also widely taken advantage of by our communities. 

 

What are those? 

 

The first one is SNOW. In a flower-like shape, each flake of snow seems like an art piece, painting the winter with its white color.  When the temperature is cold enough, the clouds in the sky transform into snowflakes, as if a witch is using the art of metamorphosis. Though people rarely deny its formation process in physics, we all prefer to describe such a scenery in fairy-tale colors. Different from the water vapor in the air, snow is the solid state of water, which can be held in hands, shaped in balls, used for Olympic games, etc. Snow did and do entertain most people around the world in Winter. 

 

The other one is ICE, which is more widespread in modern life. When the temperature drops down to the critical point, liquid water starts freezing and turning into ice. Thanks to the development of technology and science, most modern families can get ice simply from their refrigerators at home. It's not a noble's privilege to eat ice cream on a hot summer day, although an ice rink is usually built by the wealthy. The accessibility of ice leads to its explosion in all walks of life: Ice is widely used in fields like scientific research, medical treatment, health care, electric appliances, etc. 

 

What really amazes us is the liquid state of water, including sea, river, lake, pond, stream, creek, waterfall, spring, fountain, dew, rain... Sea is the home of a lot of fauna and flora, but man cannot drink sea water directly. Freshwater is relatively scarce but vital for most land dwellings. No matter what kind of liquid water evaporates into the air, the clouds or fog gather, protecting us from harsh surroundings. At the proper time, the precipitation happens and the water comes back onto the earth again, which can be very nourishing for some areas.

 

All in all, no matter what kind of form it's in, no matter where it stays, no matter which phase it experiences, water is always as valuable as a trove of treasure for us. If an individual, like water, keeps perseverance in his or her entire life, he or she must be a venerable one. If a company, like water, does so all the time, it will be a great one. We always are on the way.
