You are close!

this is a keyword in JavaScript, but you are using it as a string. Get rid of ' around this and you should be fine!

$('div').click(function(){
    $(this).append('how r u');
});

Note

If you want to replace the text, you should use .html() or .text() instead of .append(). Append will leave all text in the div as it is, and add the new text at the end.
