To go on means to keep doing something or keep happening. For example, if you are reading a book and you want to go on, it means you want to keep reading. Or if a movie is playing and you want it to go on, you want it to continue.
Remember, "to go on" is about persistence and continuation. Don't give up easily, keep pushing forward and moving ahead. Just like in a book or a movie, sometimes the best parts come after you decide to go on. Keep going, you never know what amazing things might happen next.
