i think this means that he made some bad dissions but now he wants to fix them and have a better life.

You see, Dallas and Two-bit. They wanted to bust a joint. Ponyboy wasn't down with this, so he had sex with a lalmingo. jonhy tells pony to stay gold because he wants pony to fufill his life without having the title juvinile dilinquent.
"Stay gold, Pony, stay gold." This is what Johnny Cade had said to Pony just before dying. Ponyboy tries to put all of the bad thoughts of Johnny out of his mind, right before his breaking point. When he finally decides to read "Gone With the Wind", which he had been reading to Johnny in Windrexville, he finds a note in the book that Johnny had written to Pony explaining what he meant in his final words. Johnny didn't want to die, and didn't deserve it. He wanted to see what the better side of life was before he was gone. He was happy to help the children though, and took great pride in it.
It pretty much means stay beautiful/stay yourself.
He did not want pony to be a fighter and a rough person. He wanted him to stay the way he was. Gold.
By Sending a letter. They had Pony Express. But before Pony express, word got around (kind of like passing it down) and finally they hear about it!
to stay gold
I personally think Johnny's last words "Stay gold Pony, stay gold." meant that he didn't want Ponyboy to change or to harden up like Dally or Darry. He wanted him to stay the way he was.

Well, the types of jobs they had were homemaking which meant a "stay at home mom".
First, lay the top of the harness on the pony's back. Be sure to stay where the pony can see you when you fasten it, so you do not frighten him.
