It means that the greatest pleasure in life is doing the things that people said that you weren't good enough, smart enough, good looking enough, etc, to do because of the looks on their stupid faces when they realize that you are more than they thought you were.

It means the satisfaction of meeting a seemingly insurmountable challenge is more than the ones that require little effort.

Don't you ever get this rush of excitement when you rebel! I know I feel like that---when some one has the slightest bit of disagreement, sometimes I just totally screw with them by opposing them!
