go on to do = do something later in life
go on doing = continue the current activity

try to do: an attempt that was minimal in effort and probably not successful
try doing: a real try, a real experiment, possibly successful

mean to do: intend to do, have a commitment to do something
mean doing: not used except for explaining the meaning of an action
