There was famous astrologer in the Kingdom. King will listen whatever the astrologer says. Astrologer became famous in the Kingdom. King believed astrologer more than anything in the world.
One day astrologer found from his prediction table that the King is going to die in another few days.
As a obedient servant of the King, He informed the King. King got upset and ordered to kill the astrologer.
King's Army killed the astrologer.
After that Astrologer's son became astrologer of the Kingdom. He also found what his father found from the prediction table. He wanted to tell truth to King but he had fear of what happened to his father when he told the truth. But as a obedient servant of the Kingdom, he decided to tell the truth.
He told "King, your son is going to become next King of the Kingdom". King was very happy and gave a lot of Gifts to the astrologer's son.
Both told the same, one got death other got gifts
Moral of the story is we can't tell same thing to different people in same words. We should see the audience and select the words to tell

It is undeniably true, you cannot talk the same thing to the CEO and to the office boy, but you can show them the same respect. It’s how people perceive things and mind setting has something to do with this. Because you know, some peers like to eat caviar, I don’t. Just the same with our words, what taste sweet to other may taste bitter to another. :)
Case to case basis.
