"只有当一个人的技能充分投入到克服一个刚好可以处理的挑战中，使人忘记其他一切时，活动才会变得毫不费力并且自然而然。"

Simplified Meaning:
When you are working on something that is tough but not impossible, and you use all your abilities to tackle it, you can get so focused that you forget about everything else. This state of deep focus makes your work feel easy and natural. Think about a basketball player practicing free throws. If the shots are just challenging enough, the player gets deeply engaged, concentrating fully on each shot and losing track of time. This focused state can make the practice feel almost effortless, and the player performs better. To apply this in your life, find tasks or challenges that push your skills but aren't too hard and allow yourself to become absorbed in them. This balance can help you work better and enjoy what you are doing more.
