If you can ?

--------The speech by he late Steve Jobs in the commencement of Stanford.
It wasn't all romantic.
I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms I returned coke bottles for the 5? deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.

Later on is just a casual and informal way of saying 'later', particularly in spoken English. eg Yesterday afternoon I had a nap. Later on, I went for a walk in the park.

Thank a lot, Clive
Speaking of my thought more..
I think "on" sometimes means "continues" of it's nuances like "from now on."
so That's why "on" in the sentence adds.
but as your answer, "Later" and "later on" are almost used as same mean. right?
