HEAT AND PRESSURE.

 HEAT AND PRESSURE

Josephat S. Hema

My brothers would need the flat bottles lids which were required at school for counting practices and sometimes just for their normal games. They would sometime call them coins and use them in their childhood dramas.

They found a better way to flatten the lids since we lived in a street where the railway crossed. They knew the time when the train would pass so they kept on waiting around and put all their metallic objects they wished to have them super flattened on rails when they saw the train coming from afar.

The mechanism was just simple so to think, as the heavy vehicle passed, it compressed the iron tiny objects .Its high speed would produce high heat energy through friction which made the objects flatten easily. The objects looked shiny, soft and hence beautiful to the extent that we called them money. We would do that over and over until we shifted to another street.

The process of flattening the iron objects was fascinating but this was only since we couldn’t imagine the tremendously large heat and pressure the objects were passing through and enduring. This is widely applicable in our life, we sometimes see people successful and praise their success but remain in our very normal standards of life by avoiding the risks of heat and pressure. Every success has a bitter story behind,we only shine out if we endure those moments and not let them pull us back and give up. Moments of failure, heartbreaks, bankruptcy, negativities, loneliness, rejection and sometimes sweat and tears mean to make one stronger for the coming great success, only people who overcome these are able to answer precisely the questions about their success.

The effect of Heat and Pressure is what makes Gold shiny and pure and hence more priceless.
