Is this really the recipe for academic success?

I heard from someone a very cynical view about how to be a successful academic... is there any truth to this? They said something like this:

"Kiss asses of known researchers: ask them to collaborate, talk to them on the events. Make impressions. Pay them beers. Have endless meetings with them, and work for them for papers.

Push your students like crazy, make them sleep in the lab, and try to have as many students as possible, so you can publish as much as possible

Try to keep on track with the most trendy ideas in <said area>, get the low hanging fruits ideas, push your students to finish them

Don't sleep much, don't workout, don't have hobbies, your life is your career. You will be successful."

What are your thoughts?
