"If you want to succeed, you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success." - John D. Rockefeller _ Galata Tower, standing tall in Istanbul's skyline. One of the most well recognised landmark in this beautiful city. _ Built in 1348 this medieval stone tower stretches 66.9 m (219 ft) into the sky. It's walls are 3.75 meters thick. _ To me it's more than just beautiful architecture. It epitomises leadership, confidence, steadfastness, durability and a thick skin. All the same attributes of the most inspiring people. _ While in Istanbul I stayed at @eresin_hotels_istanbul. #turkey #oneistanbul
