T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) was a Nobel Prize-winning poet, playwright, and literary critic whose innovative approach to literature reshaped modern poetry. Born in the United States and later becoming a British citizen, he is regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His timeless works, including The Waste Land and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, continue to inspire creativity, resilience, and original thinking—qualities that also drive successful entrepreneurs and MSMEs.
