10 Things Google has found to be true:

1) Focus on the user and all else will follow.

2) It's best to do one thing really, really well.

3) Fast is better than slow.

4) Democracy on the web works.

5) You don't need to be at your desk to need an answer.

6) You can make money without doing evil.

7) There's always more information out there.

8) The need for information crosses all borders.

9) You can be serious without a suit.

10) Great just isn't good enough.

In a word, Google's goal is to do important stuff that matters to a lot of people. In pursuit of that goal, we've developed a set of values that drive our work, including one of our most cherished core values: "Don't be evil."
