   <aura:attribute name="message" type="String"/>  
   <p>Message of the day: {!v.message}</p>  
   <div>  
     <lightning:button label="You look nice today."  
       onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>  
     <lightning:button label="Today is going to be a great day!"  
       onclick="{!c.handleClick}"/>  
   </div>  
 </aura:component>  

Controller:

 ({  
   handleClick: function(component, event, helper) {  
     var btnClicked = event.getSource();     // the button  
     var btnMessage = btnClicked.get("v.label"); // the button's label  
     component.set("v.message", btnMessage);   // update our message  
   }  
 })
