If you are an undergraduate, you don't yet know what you can contribute to mathematics, and in particular you don't yet know whether, or at what level, you can create original mathematics. Fortunately, you don't have to work this out entirely for yourself; if you go on to graduate work in mathematics, you will have an advisor, whose job is to help you get the most out of your potential. Even after a student finishes a PhD, she's not alone; much of the best mathematical work today is collaborative, and whatever weaknesses you may think you have can be compensated for by the strengths of your collaborators (while you compensate for their weaknesses with your strengths).

It ain't easy, but it can be done.
