Fortune Cookie Fortunes

Work on ideas that are creative and can bring fine results.
Good advice for an academic statistician.
Your courage will reap rewards for you.
Sensible direction for an academic statistician.
You display the wonderful traits of charm and courtesy.
Useful prodding for an academic statistician.
Your lucky number for this week is the number three.
Huh?

How did they know that I would get that fortune cookie?
And get it yesterday in particular?
And what is it about this week that it is lucky?
Does the week begin yesterday when I got the fortune, or on Sunday as is tradition, or is this referring to the work week, starting Monday and ending Friday?
And just how shall I make use of this information?
Betting on craps?
