Can you please point out what I have to do... Thanks

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        quoteLable.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."

You've misspelled quoteLabel

See here -

quoteLable.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."

It happens all the time, even to the best of us! I find it good practice to look at all my variables and make sure they're correctly written out when I have an odd problem. Sometimes I can't find them so I'll walk away for a few minutes, come back, and I'll notice them almost instantly. Watch out for syntax errors as well.

Mind you, compilers (and even IDEs sometimes) will notify you of this sort of thing, by letting you know that the variable you just wrote doesn't exist. The code challenge isn't that robust because it doesn't have a compiler error section for Swift. If it did, this would be much easier to spot.
