A metaphor is a flower. A simile is like (or as) a flower. Both metaphor and simile compare one thing to another. The difference is that a simile uses the words 'like' or 'as', and metaphor doesn't. Metaphor: Life is a fountain. Simile: Life is like a fountain.
"He is a shining star in our company" is an example of an indirect metaphor, where the person is compared to a star without using "like" or "as" to make the comparison explicit.

Her voice was music to his ears. Time is a thief. The world is a stage. Love is a battlefield. His words were a dagger to her heart. The stormy relationship finally hit rock bottom. The classroom was a zoo today. Life is a rollercoaster of emotions. The city was a concrete jungle. Her laughter was a melody. The night sky was a blanket of stars. His words were a double-edged sword. Time is money. The ring on her finger was a symbol of commitment. The truth was a bitter pill to swallow.
