Sounds more like the recipe for burnout....
Besides, this recipe does not mention the need of vision. I.e., the ability to decide what the worthy cause is that you are going to direct your self-dicipline to. Lots of people work very hard but don't get anywhere. Basically they are slaves.
I like the Robin Sharma definition of success. Finding a worthy cause and being on the path towards it = success.
