How do I fix an error CS0428?

The error is - Cannot convert method group GetComponent' to non-delegate type UnityEngine.UI.Text’. Consider using parentheses to invoke the method.

I am not sure where to begin to fix this.

Here is the code…

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Collect : MonoBehaviour {

	public Text fact;
	private int NumRock;



	void Awake() {

	}


	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) 
	{
		if (other.gameObject.CompareTag ("Pick Up")) {
			other.gameObject.SetActive (false); 
			NumRock = NumRock + 1;
		}

	
	}
	void Update () {
		if (NumRock >= 1) {
			fact = GetComponent<Text>;
			fact = "The Statue of Liberty represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom.";


		}
	}

}

fact will be the Text component (assuming it’s on the same game object), so to access the actual text of it, you need to use fact.text on line 29 in your posted script.
