How am i supposed to do this?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
Ok, I'm trying to make a SurfaceGui Textlabel that is empty but when you click it it has some text...? A script I tried was something like ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OnMouseClicked Part.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Chairman wait(10) Destroy() end

Well, TextLabels don't have a click event, but TextButtons do! You just need some quotes on your string, fix your hierarchy and you're good!
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = "Chairman"
wait(10)
-- Not sure if you wanted to destroy the part, SurfaceGui, or the message.
--[[ If you want to destroy the part:
script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
If you want to destroy the GUI:
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
If you want to delete the TextButton
script.Parent:Destroy()
If you want to clear it:
script.Parent.Text = ""
--]]
end)
So here's the hierarchy I set this up for (The location, or directory):
Workspace>Part>SurfaceGui>TextButton>Script

A TextLabel does not respond to clicks. You need to use a TextButton instead.
local TextButton = Part.SurfaceGui.TextButton
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
TextButton.Text = "Chairman"
wait(10)
TextButton:Destroy()
end)
I'm not sure what element you were wanting to destroy in the code sample you provided. Mine destroys the TextButton
