You could try making statements based on the metaphor of competition as war. For example, you could construct sentences using words taken from the field of warfare (shoot down, mine field, fight, struggle, siege, conquer territory, etc.) to describe competitive personal or business relationships.

I don't see what the speaker could have meant by saying the heat of a summer day other than the meaning of the words the heat of a summer day , as in The heat of a summer day can certainly make me feel lazy. Therefore, it's not a metaphor as it stands, although perhaps some context could be created around those words which would make them metaphoric, as in Lovely Lucy is the heat of a summer day.

What you've written there is a badly punctuated statement. A metaphor is a way of expressing an idea that cannot be conveyed literally. For example: "A good grasp of the language."
