5 . John Myatt is an artist. He may not be the greatest artist in the world, but he is possibly the world’s greatest forger (伪造者). He is able to paint pictures in the style of famous artists like Monet and Matisse.

    1     This unusual skill got Myatt into a lot of trouble in the 1990s. For many years he taught art at a secondary school, but then he got divorced (离婚) and he gave up his job to spend more time with his children. In order to make some money he started painting pictures in the style of famous artists and selling them.

    2     He was honest about his work—he wrote his name on the back, and he sold them for ￡150 each. However, one of his customers, John Drewe, started to resell Myatt’s paintings as genuine, original works. Drewe had sold one of Myatt’s paintings for￡25,000. He contacted Myatt and suggested that they go into business together. Myatt agreed. He continued to paint and Drewe sold his paintings to art collectors around the world.     3    

The amazing thing is that Myatt painted his pictures with decorator’s paint.     4     But it soon came to an end. Drewe was divorced too, and his ex-wife found out about the forgeries. She went to the police and they arrested Dewe and Myatt. At their trial Drewe was sent to prison for six years and Myatt for less than one year.

    5     When he came out he started to produce pictures in the style of famous artists again. But he put his name on the back, as he’d done before he met Drewe. Myatt is now famous and instead of charging￡150 for a painting, he can charge￡40-50,000.

7 . When Tonee Carter sits in front of a piano, his fingers take on a life of their own, dancing across the keys as he smiles, closes his eyes, and sinks into a melody.

Carter, 66, isn’t famous, but he does perform for an international audience nearly every day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Travelers lucky enough to hear him often find themselves attracted by his music. That’s what happened to Carlos Whittaker, a motivational speaker who was traveling home to Tennessee. “As I was walking through the hall, I heard someone playing the piano,” Whittaker, 46, told CNN.

While listening to the music that seemed to effortlessly flow from Carter’s fingertips, Whittaker, the influencer on social media also took videos of the musician and shared them with his more than 200,000 followers. And an idea hit Whittaker. “Suddenly I was like, what would happen if I asked my followers if we could give him the biggest tip he’s ever gotten,” he said. “As of this conversation, we had raised $61,000.”

Carter was just 6 years old when his father, also a pianist, took him to a Ray Charles concert. But Carter hasn’t had the easiest life. In fact, Carter has had serious kidney disease since 2008. “I thought he was kidding. I just couldn’t believe it,” Cater told CNN. “This is the kind of thing I do. I love giving and donating and helping people, but I never expected someone to do it for me.”

Whittaker has used his social media platform to raise funds for others in the past. Earlier this month, he and his followers raised $230,000 for Brooklyn To Alaska, a non-profit organization that sends urban teenagers on an adventure to Alaska.

Carter plans to use the money to help people the way Whittaker has helped him. “That $61,000 is not mine. It’s the money that’s going to go to others,” Carter said. “There is only one way to say thank you, because words aren’t enough. And that is to pay this forward.
