01font00so....Is it very awkward? 02font00It's correct grammar. A slight awkwardness derives from the fact that both these words are intended here as verbs (I think) but can also be used as nouns. So, the meaning requires a little thought. How about 'Better to risk than to plan'?02br
02br
00Or, do you know the common saying 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'?02br

0Book or movie titles to a large extent do not follow grammatical rules. Two movies from times past are good examples “Gone with the wind” and “where The Eagles Dare”. So your title for the essay is fine. The content however, must stick to the grammar rules. 0-
