Professor Naylor, this is my first year of college and I
just want to thank you for teaching me new things. I
was always a thinker, but listening to you turned me
into a solution provider. So now I don’t take no for an
answer. I will find solutions to the problems I come
across. You are also a real person. What I mean by
that is there is nothing fake. You give us the real deal,
no BS. Thanks for all your help and making me build
up my confidence even more.

Professor Naylor motivated me to take the Hardware
part of the A+ Certification when I had him for
CT108 in May 04. I passed easily. Without him pushing
me, I would not have done it. I just passed the O/S
part last week. It feels so good to have accomplished
something that I have been putting off for 3 months. I
just wanted to thank Professor Naylor for making me
take the first step. I am going to be taking Network +
next. If anyone else is thinking about taking A+, GO
FOR IT! It was not a hard test. You can get a lot of
the answers by using common sense, and practice
tests help a lot. Good Luck! Thanks Again Professor
Naylor!

Professor Naylor your awesome from your class I
learned how to have patience and to calm down and
think before I do anything – I will see you again. Keep
up the good work the best thing I learned in class was
key strokes. When you first told me we were learning
key strokes I looked at you like you had four heads,
but I did it and it comes in handy.

This is my first year at this college and what an
encouraging teacher you are. You made me realize
that it’s not a difficult thing to talk in front of people.
I had that problem, not any more. Mr. Naylor is a
good teacher, he taught me how to talk about
anything in front of groups to get you to get over your
fears, which in my case, it did. I just wanted to say
thank you very much, I enjoyed your class a lot.
Everybody who passes your class will become a
solution provider.

My first semester at Briarcliffe College was a cocky
one. I came into the school thinking I knew
everything. I didn’t though. Professor Naylor proved
it to me. I’m glad he did, because for everything I
didn’t know, I learned through him, and it did not end
there. He gave me so much knowledge not only about
the technical field but about real world environments
and how it really is out there, preparing me for my
future. I can’t begin to explain how Professor Naylor
changed me since Aug ’02, when I started my college
years. His systems for success are flawless. I know
this because I use them. I now currently work for
Cablevision making $18 dollars an hour and I am now
a proud owner of a 30K dollar Subaru which I’m very
proud of. Professor Naylor is part of my success and
I’m honored to have had him as a mentor and a
professor. I’ll never forget the help you gave me
Professor. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I
look forward to being in your classes for my next
degree, because there is no school that will see me
unless you teach there.
P.S. I’m going to need a signature on that System for
Success book next year when it hits stores.

Being an older student (30 at the time I’m writing
this), I had many hats to juggle, I did not have the
time to waste, I needed a solid plan. Using the Time
Management aspect of Professor Naylor’s Systems
for Success, I overcame many obstacles. Having a
plan helped me to keep ahead of the curve. When my
daughter was born time became a precious
commodity and having a time management plan
already in place not only allowed me to transition
easily, but it allowed me to physically see what kind
of time I had on my hands. I was able to utilize my
time in an effective manner and was able to do well in
ALL of my classes due to this simple yet profound
mechanism. I believe that everyone should know how
to create and implement a time management plan into
their lives and I am thankful that Professor Naylor
teaches future solution providers this invaluable skill.
Professor Naylor is more than just a teacher. His
systems for success are the blueprint that should be
taught in scholastic settings well before the collegiate
level. If there were more students actively practicing
these simple suggestions I can say with complete
confidence that the youth of today and tomorrow
would bring humanity to a new era of greatness.
Efficiency would multiply beyond the current scope
and tasks that seem overwhelming would become less so.
Take heed as you read through the following pages,
my words sound overdone, but take the time to
implement just a few of the suggestions to follow and
you will see a vast improvement in your daily life.

Professor Naylor’s “Systems for Success”, have
proven to be practical for many who have had the
opportunity to attend any one of his classes. The Time
Management system has demonstrated that there is
plenty of wasted time, we can transform into productive time.
I was able to convert my wasted time to time spent
achieving my goals, which consequently have been,
completing my degree at Briarcliffe College,
obtaining employment within weeks of graduating
and nearly doubling my salary.
Thanks Professor Naylor for contributing to my success.

I think you are a great teacher. You said that you can
do anything you want to as long as you put your mind
to it. Thank you Professor Naylor for making me
stand in front of the class because if I didn’t do it in
your class I would have never done it.

DTA (Date, Time & Activity,) three letters that
haunted me at first. Originally I wanted nothing to do
with it and just tried to fight it, but once I realized
how effective and efficient it could be properly used,
I stuck with it. Using this system for success
increased my productivity and all around helped me
stay very organized with my reading and daily
activities. It seems so redundant to record all this
information down at first, but as you do this, it helps
retain information and you can prove you have done
something and proof you have done it. For example,
I was at my job, filling out paper work and I inscribed
it all with DTA and my signature. So when a “query”
came about that I might of not have done my own
work I was able to show documentation of when and
where I did it and how long it took me. My signature
was additional proof that I have accomplished all my
work for the day. This not only saved my job but I
was even given a raise for being inspirational and
well prepared for this on such short notice.
This is why this system for success is worth its weight
in gold.

Professor Naylor’s class has been both informative
and motivating. Not only did I get information from
being in his class, but I also received transformation
due to the systems of success. Through the repetition
and various exercises we did in class, I have a broad
range of new skills and knowledge of programs that
before this class I was clueless. Thank you professor
for making this an awesome experience!!

First, my baby girl is doing fine. Her name is Sierra.
Next, even though I did really bad in your class what
you have taught me (life lessons included) has helped
me be a better father. I just wanted to take the time
out and THANK YOU. You have been a true
inspiration to me. Hope to see you next semester; that
is if I am not deployed I am now a member of the NY

“One of the most helpful tips for me would be the
Backup Rule. Experiencing this myself, it will save
you time, money, your job or in this case, my grade.
No matter what your career, this is a crucial step, you
MUST remember. Along with the other steps,
Professor Naylor has helped me to understand how
the “game” of life works. I never had this much
inspiration, motivation and respect until I came to the
college level and Professor Naylor had a major part in it.”

Hi Professor Naylor, thanks for everything you taught
me. For me it was the greatest experience having you
as a teacher. I wish all teachers would be like you.
Thanks to you, I’m not going to quit at anything I set
my mind on and I will always remember that I’m a
solution provider and not a quitter. I also want you to
know that from this point on, any essay that I would
have to write about someone that inspired me and told
me to work hard and never give up, I will be writing
about you and about my experiences as a solution
provider. Thanks again for everything Professor Naylor.

Hey Mr. Naylor,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your support,
encouragement, and most of all for teaching me what
it means to be a SOLUTION PROVIDER. I love my
teaching job, and understand more now how powerful
motivation is. I constantly use techniques I learned
from sitting in the back of your classes. On another
note I passed my Professional Certification. Mr.
Naylor, I’m really going to miss you. I hope that if
you want someone to come in to a class and give a
testimonial, you will ask me. Truly you helped me to
decide a career path and I thank you for that.

I have had the greatest pleasure of working with
Professor Naylor and assisting him in class with other
students. I have definitely had my ups and downs
with assignments and personal problems but as a
“Solution Provider” my days became brighter and
smoother. I really encourage other students if you
ever have doubt check it out but always be honest,
open minded to change and suggestions. Never argue
with the Professor. That is why he is the Professor
and you are the student. If you have a new way of
“Solution Providing” his ears are always open. What
an energetic, positive reinforced, all around GREAT
person this man really is. Thank you so much for your
guidance, understanding, help, and reassurance. With
my ambitiousness and eagerness to succeed I am
looking forward to working with you at Briarcliffe College!!!!

I enjoyed this class very much. I have learned a lot of
stuff, especially key strokes. Key stroke’s is the most
important thing I learned all semester in any of my
classes. I also think that Professor Naylor is one of the
best teachers at Briarcliffe, and possibly one of the
best teachers I have ever had.
