I think it's because all advice is useless without personal context and that personal context is "knowing yourself".
If you know yourself, know that you're not wired to be a particularly ambitious person then this advice is useless.
On the other hand, if you are an ambitious person or a workaholic, then this is probably quite useful advice!

[addition] From Sun Tsu - The Art Of War: If you don't know yourself and don't know your enemy, you will always lose. If you only know yourself or your enemy, you will win half the time. If you know yourself and know your enemy, you will always win.
