People pleasing can be a defeating habit in a person's life, simply because the act itself takes your focus off what you CAN control, and puts your focus on to what you CAN'T control, which is somebody else's happiness and peace of mind. Here is a perfect example to illustrate my point:

If you buy your lover flowers, and they come home to tell you they just received a raise at work - the flowers you give them are just going to add to their joy, and you are going to have a...

Simply put, hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil. The word "hydroponics" comes from the Greek word hydro, which means "water" and ponos, which means "labor or water-working."
