This is true. But I think it's also important for people to realize this on their own based on experiences in their own life, not just in theory. Sometimes the only way to really understand this is to overwork and burn-out at a job and realize it's not worth it.
If I was on my deathbed when I was 20, I'll bet one of my regrets would have been not working harder to contribute to science, make an impact, be recognized, be an entrepreneur, etc. I haven't been in my 20s for a while and my views on work have definitely changed to what I quoted from you above.
