  After a little snowstorm yesterday I began to think of what snowflakes had to offer other than nice scenery and dangerous road conditions.From the way they fall, to the way they look, snowflakes have some similarities with our life.Here are some life lessons these little white ice crystals have to offer.

  Be unique

  Every snowflake has its own shape and look.So should you! Accept yourself and be yourself.Everyone is different and should remain that way.

  Work with others

  One flake doesn’t fall during a storm millions do.As they build up and stick together, they accomplish a lot.Billions of them can become inches, maybe even feet tall and blanket miles upon miles.If you want to achieve success and change your life, you will need help from others eventually.

  You can be small but powerful

  Snowflakes are very small but very powerful.They’re extremely delicate but can shut down whole cities and states.You may be weak physically but mentally you can be strong.

  Take your time

  Unless wind is pushing them, snowflakes usually take their time to get to their destination.Don’t rush through life; it’s the journey that’s important, not the destination.

  Divert away from your planned route

  Most snowflakes are supposed to land on the ground and may be headed that way when they’re falling.But sometimes they land in trees, lakes, or the street.They go with the flow and are very flexible.It’s great if you have planned out your time and life, but events are going to throw those off course.So be flexible and let certain events take you for a ride.

  Bring happiness and enjoyment to others

  At times snow can be extremely dangerous, but think about how many times snow has made people happy and joyful.Just the sight of a fresh blanket of snow makes people feel good.You should do the same, make people happy to see and talk to you.Don’t be unhappy because you’ll bring those around you down.

  Life is short

  Snowflakes don’t last that long.Frequently they melt the instant they hit the ground, but they’ve had an interesting journey.Cherish your life and every minute you have.

  To extinguish(熄)different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers(灭火器)have been invented.They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out.Most portable(手提式的)kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires.The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

  Since fuel, oxygen(氧气)and heat must be present for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire.If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out.Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

  Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen.This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things.A blanket(毯子)may be used to cover a small fire.

  A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

  The method that is used to put out a fire depends on the type of fire.Fires have been divided into three classes.Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called C1ass A fires.These materials usually help keep the fire on.Such fires can be stopped most easily by cooling with water.
