If I don't found passion and independent thinking, all certifications on the world are zero in that case.

You all tell me who will you select for a job:
A:People with certificate.
B:People without certificate.
You cannot have a certificate without passion and certificate is important as it shows your passion.
Someone with a certificate may have a better chance at getting an interview... but... I don't think anyone will hire, or not hire, based on the certificate (or lack of).

Well that proves my point.
If you have certificate atleast your employer will test you for SCJP skills. Otherwise he may just kick you out (atleast in this times of recession).
In essence, they're a complete no-op.
I think certs are great for setting personal goals and milestones, but in my experience, they aren't a factor in the hiring process.
