About the phrase "in the past"

I have 2 sentences:

Think what you have done in the past.

In the past he has been a bricklayer, and now he's a farmer.

Is it OK to use simple past tense instead of present perfect tense? Like "Think what you did in the past." or "In the past he was a bricklayer, and now he's a farmer."

Thanks for your help!!Emotion: smile[L]
